... in 2 weeks. Oh dear I can't believe that I could not have picked a better time for this tooth business but never mind we will continue to circle around Brisbane until the job is done.<br><br><br>This afternoon turned out to be the first time we had got really lost, looking for a camping spot; well, we found the main turn off but the sign "Coochin Creek Camp Ground" had another sign that said &#8220;Vehicles over 3.5 tonnes use alternate ...

... shopping trolleys!! We thought we would find internet ... we didn't!!! So being ever positive we went to the tourist information centre and booked to go on what can only be described as the trip of a lifetime!!<br><br>Hervey bay prides itself on being the best place to go Whale Watching in the world. We heard this in Vancouver where we saw jack s#@t so we were a little dubious!! However, the Spirit of Hervey Bay offered a package where you would get a full ...

... 10/10:15 am and breezed through admissions with our pass. i felt i had my own personal tour guide as Lana had been there quite a few times before and though we had a map we rarely used it. as we walked around throughout the day, Lana commented on how empty the zoo was. we never had to compete with crowds or lines and sometimes we had entire exhibits/enclosures to ourselves! i was very impressed with the zoo--all the exhibits and ...

... Mike dann noch mal etwas runtergehandelt und nun buche ich noch ein Surf Camp mehr, dieses offiziell über East West. Am Freitag konnte ich leider nicht sonderlich viel tun, da erstens Mike noch nicht im Office war und mit damit auch noch nicht sagen konnte, wann ein Wochenende für uns frei ist. Und zweitens ist der Bar Manager der QUT Guild Bar immer noch krank und den Termin für die Bad Taste Party kann mir sonst auch Niemand bestätigen. Blöd, denn ...

... we thought were jelly fish, but the lifeguard called them blubber, not stingers, and no problem going in the water here, very different than Townsville. Checked out the town a bit, Brian went to the local Home Depot store (Bunnings), and checked things out. Aaron to the music shop, and I found a quilt store. Bought some very Aussie type fabric made here, so was thrilled with my purchases! Back to the beach again, and fish and chips on a picnic table ...

We are blessed with lovely weather as we continue to follow the coast south. We follow the aptly named Sunshine Coast and stop off in Noosa to hunt down some elusive koalas. We are very unlucky and don't spot a single one, we lift our spirits a little by having a picnic near to the sea but are soon left feeling very frustrated again as my dad finds a parking infringement notice on his van for parking in the wrong direction, against the flow off ...

... stations for interview after finding out telephone numbers via the UK! Then the Newpaper rang back to organise another photo shoot with an ex pom living up the road. Bob had emigrated twenty years ago after starring as one of the urchin Children at the end of the Chitty Chitty Bang Bang film. He was the ginger kid on the bottom left of the screen (I am told) putting pay to the Child Catcher! After a nice cup of tea and a few more ...

... expert! Managed to stand up for about 2 secs though so I was happy with that. Its was great fun and we will definitely be having a few more lessons on our way down to Sydney from here. Due to the weather being pretty bad though we spent a good lot of time in the cinema. Watched Juno and Charlie Wilsons War, both come highly recommended. On Valentines night we decided to blow the budget and went for a really nice meal in Noosa Heads ...

... leaving south america. daniel loaned us maps and a book of queensland and we were on our way. up along the coast drive we saw some of the touristy things that queensland is known for. apparently they really like big plastic things here. there was a giant pineapple, prawn, banana, space guy, chicken, and we saw signs for the cow. and heard a rumor of a guitar. what is ...

... nothing. Secondly, there were too many Koreans. Don't take me for a racist, I have nothing against the Korean people, it is just that most of us choose these opportunities to experience a variety of cultures and when 60 to 70 percent of the volunteers are all one nationality, that doesn't quite fit the expectations. That and most of the Koreans volunteers are doing it for the certificate which they tell me goes a long ...
