... br><br>Met a retired american bloke called Dan who was an interesting character, he spent the 60s and 70s travelling round the wrld overland including visiting places like pakistan, afgahnistan, nepal and just about everywhere else you can imagine getting into all sorts of trouble. He has stories about drug smuggling, hazy hash days spent in ...

... hour Greyhound ride north found me in Emu Park, which I think is on the Capricorn Coast...there&#8217;s so many I lose track! It&#8217;s only a few kilometers from Yeppoon, a town Steve had told me about when I worked in Brisbane which sounded like some made up place. But then saying that I remember not being able to pronounce Marochydore (where another branch of our pub was) either and I ended up living there for six months!<br>I arrived in the ...

... a postcard.<br><br>We were surprised at how few people were actually there. The resort closed down about 2 years ago (there is some politics about getting it open again) but that meant that we pretty much had a beach to ourselves. We barely saw anyone the whole time we were there.<br><br>We did however see a lot of cheeky birds, we had lorikeets randomly land on Adam&#8217;s knee and Lily&#8217;s head at the beach. Then we left our bags to ...

"It's a beautiful day The sun is shining I feel good And no-one's gonna stop me now, oh yeah. It's a beautiful day I feel good, I feel right And no-one, no-one's gonna stop me now Mama." Queen - It's a beautiful day When I told my friend Surita that I was going to Australia she said: "I've got a really nice friend who lives in Melbourne. You must go and see him!" And so I did. And had 5 great days. Steve had everything ...

... stage fright and are afraid to go on, when a man gets stage fright in a toilet, well, he just cant GO. The reason I'm telling you this is because after the photos I had gone to the toilet, only to find myself standing beside two of the cast at the urinals. I found it quite ironic to be experiencing stage fright beside two actors and wondered if a comical quip of the sorts would release the tension and help me GO. I decided to to keep ...

... truly fantastic and one of my favorite arenas around the world. But I have never quite seen an atmosphere like the one we saw and not in a good way, and it was only a quarter full. It was exceedingly boisterous, there were at least 20 proper punch-ups during the match as the fans sank numerous beers in the baking sun and taunted one another and each other. A lot of the altercations seemed to be Aussie in-fighting. I have never seen that many at any ...

... A Gentle Bush Walk Dunedin: Wildlife cruise booked with Monarch Wildlife Cruises: http://www.wildlife.co.nz/index.html - even though we didn't get to do this cruise, their service and professionalism was excellent Christchurch: jet boat ride with Jet Thrills ...

... all around the world have an observation deck, but this building went a step further getting you a step further off of the edge. They have a transparent, glass box that takes you out into thin air and let's you hang in the box for a good minute. The cool thing about this attraction or ride is that they cart you out into the middle of the sky without seeing anything - it's opaque in the box at the start - and then in a flash they ...

I began to find the situation faintly amusing as I was grappled onto the spinal board due in part to the discussions taking place on how to get me in the back of an ambulance, but due mainly to the request for me to relax and lie still whilst my head was bobbing around in the surf. I was asked questions, but couldn't answer because the water was lapping gently over my ears reducing all communication to a dull hum ...

Not wishing to cause my mother any undue worry I shall first say this. I'm OK (well sort of). Jen and I set forth from the kind and generous hospitality of our German hosts to experience the calming and relaxed atmosphere of Great Keppel Island, situated 40mins boat ride from the Marina at Yepoon. Leaving the van locked up at a 'lock up' we eagerly headed onto the boat via the ice cream shop. From here on in I shall recount the tale in reverse, preventing those likely of ...
