... history and I did manage to find a café &#8211; the only establishment in a town of approx 10 houses in its main thoroughfare. It was bustling with several mums and their toddlers, all enjoying the coffee, scones and sausage rolls.<br> Greg accidentally broke the door handle clean off the van during this stop and Maegan embarrassed me by opening the toilet door whilst I was still in progress, so a European tourist got the fright of her life when she saw me in ...

... i borrowed a bike from the hostel and cycled around town, its quirte big so walking was too far, i visited the tropic of capricorn and took my photo on the line and then went to the botanical gardens and free zoo with koalas and wombats and some cassolway. i then cycled along the river where the histroic building r and then went back to the hostel. <br>

... leaving<br>the bus stop behind, we made a bee line to Maccy D's and the free<br>Internet. We needed this pretty urgently as we did not have anywhere<br>to stay that night......and also for the toilet. We booked ourselves<br>in to a hostel around 3.5 km away, stayed in Maccy D's for a little<br>longer while Michelle went and called her parents briefly. It is<br>amazing how long you can get a coffee to last. Just after 8am we<br>began the walk, refusing to hire a taxi, along with ...

... lieb** auf dem Parkplatz üb**nachten, wo wir vorh** parkten. Dort war wenigstens ein bisschen Licht vorhanden, ein Dixi-Klo, und wir hatten Blick auf's Me**. Mit zwei Bech**n Goon haben wir uns müde **zählt und sind dann ziemlich schnell &#8222;gecrashed&#8220; (schnell eingeschlafen). Um 7Uhr morgens wurden wir von den sanften G**äuschen eines Müllwagens geweckt. Noch vor dem Frühstück sind wir wied** zur Spitze gefahren und haben für ungefähr eine halbe Stunde bis Stunde die Aussicht ...

... hill gave way beneath my feet as I climbed down it. It was only a little fall though. I was the only person on the beach so I spent the day sunbathing, swimming a little (maybe a little naked swimming) and mostly sleeping. When I woke up from sleeping, there were 3 things missing from the front pocket of my bag. My watch, my map of the island and my half eaten bag of jelly beans. So there's a geography and time savvy bird somewhere on the island munching on my jelly beans ...

... and Dawn to keep us in line. I can assure you that by 9.30pm everyone is ready to hit the hay. Turned out to be a nice evening. Sunday, time set aside for team photograph with some hilarious moments ( which may be revealed later) and some serious ones as well. First of all the photographer called "10sec Shoot yourself" did not want to cooperate and wanted to click after 2 seconds, thus one member was not making ...

... around as its so far. At the zoo we saw chimps being fed close up with only about 5 other tourists, we saw and stroked Koalas, saw kangaroos and wallabies and a few other animals. I was gutted they had taken the snakes and crocodiles away for refurb of the enclosures but it was still worth going. The botanic gardens were good too with a Japanese garden designed by a guy from the twin city of Rocky. We chatted to the bus driver on the way back who said, like many other people we met ...

... every few hours so we stayed in Mackey for the day even though there isn't anything to do. In the afternoon we went into the town centre and we set up Australian bank accounts, sent some CV's to recruitment agencies in Sydney and Lydia did some shopping. We went to a public swimming pool/lagoon for a while and then in the evening we went for dinner with the Scottish. It will show how bad I was feeling when, despite having not eaten all day, I could ...

... because after a while, you didn't want to go out into the city, but instead just sit in the courty and talk to all the people, drink coffee, and have a good time. We were all like family, really, and some people would come in, stay a couple of days and then leave, only to be replaced by someone else. Whilst at Forbe's I met a few Germans, Alex, Anne, and Claudia and we all had a really good bond right from the beginning. We ate our first kangaroo together ...

... corridor and I realised who was responsible for the awful stench. I must say they were very polite about the whole thing, but I made a promise to myself not to wear my shoes without socks for the remainder of the trip. <br><br>The optional dinner was at the Koorana Crocodile Farm, 35km out of town. While on the road in the afternoon we had watched an episode of the Crocodile Hunter on the coach to get us in the mood for some close crocodile encounters. This was the ...
