Buccaneer Drive, Urangan Hervey Bay, Queensland, Australia, 4655, 7-4197-8200
G'day Well we have moved up the coast to Hervey Bay today. We are off to Fraser Island tomorrow, its the biggest sand Island in the World and is supposed to be amazing, so will let you know tomorrow. No pics for a few days though as this internet terminal is very basic. The drive up here was over 4 hours but on Oz roads it seems so easy and even the motorways seem less stressful than in UK.\ Right the countdown timer on this computer is 4 mins so better go. Catch ya later mates
Hervey bay, Australia arropTodays big news, Mark and I bought thongs, yep that's right, everyone wears them here. They take a bit of getting used to, I have not worn thongs for years but it has to be done. They chafe a bit to start with but I'm sure they will feel fine tomorrow. Oh, incase you don't know thongs are what the UK call 'flip flops'. Also today we hired pedal cycles and rode along the coast track about 17miles in total, the bikes were fine to start with but by the end the basic saddles were less than comfor...
Hervey bay, Australia arropFraser Island - Kingfisher Bay Resort - 29th May until 2nd June 2008 Here we are, having travelled back to the coast and down another 500kms or so, to the Hervey Bay area just under the Tropic of Capricorn. Our home for just one night was again a Mantra Resort Hotel, which overlooked the marina from where we were to depart to Fraser Island the next morning. It was a very uneventful journey south with lots of sugar cane fields and traditional Queenslander style houses at the side of the highwa...

... my email, I have received a confession from Angie and Derek. Apparently sharks do NOT do number 2’s as I first thought. The snotty ball is in fact a blobs of egg capsules from the welk shell but they love to wind up those from over sees and take advantage of our trusting nature and lead us to believe it was sharks poo. Well done guys, hook, line and sinker comes to mind. You got us there, but just you wait, we will get you back :o)
Hervey Bay, Queensland, Australia karendixon... t alot of wind to help cool us off so we all just took our time and plodded along chatting. We all made it out of the jungle alive and meet up with Craig on the beach for some cold drinks and a quick kick around of the footie, it was just like being on a beach in Rio except we were rubbish at keepie uppy but there was at least the bikini babes to match the beaches of Brazil. From here we headed to a resort on the East Coast of the island for a great lunch and a ...
Fraser Island, Queensland, Australia gaz-ljFraser Island - ein absolut schöner Platz, ganz klar das bisherige Highlight meiner Reise!<br><br>Am Morgen früh wurde ich beim Backpacker abgeholt. Ich hatte riesiges Glück, waren wir doch nur eine ganz kleine Gruppe von 5 Personen und Steve, unser Guide. Daher hatten wir auch Platz in einem Jeep, der uns über die holprigen Strassen der Insel führte. Nebst mir waren da noch Phil, der Bruder von Sharon welche mit Andy, ihrem ...
Fraser Island, Queensland, Australia 3110280477... a natural lake 100m above sea level which has neutral a ph level of 5 which makes it excellent for the skin. We went for a swim then rolled around in the sand for an exfoliation, afterwards our skin was so smooth, it was a nice little pampering. Back on the bus to the ferry port to catch the boat back to Hervey Bay.<br><br>Didn't fancy staying in Hervey another night so made a dash for Tiaro and free warm showers.<br>
Hervey Bay, Queensland, Australia pixelchick... other. The lake is emerald green and we had an enjoyable time relaxing while the kids played in the water and sand (more running down sand dunes). The walk back was uphill to say the least and was glad to arrive back at the car. The return trip along the beach was uneventful thankfully the tides had receeded enough to get home. One more full day left - plan is to head up early to the northern tip of the island... see how we go.<br>
Fraser Island, Queensland, Australia drownsroundaus... poeple I met on the bus ride. We all bonded over the fact that we arrived at the Hervey Bay bus terminal and didn't have a clue how to get to our hostel from there. Good thing there was a shuttle, or we would have had an hour-long walk in the dark! It gets dark around 5 pm here which can complicate things. I can't wait to see the beach in this town. I've heard it's one of the most spectacular ...
Hervey Bay, Queensland, Australia llessard2011... should. The thing was that Ronny probably wasn’t a day over 28. The poor guy probably gets taunted about when he’s getting his next set of dentures or when he’s booked in to get a hip replacement. <br><br><br>Things had developed at the Dreamtime Cultural Centre in the eleven years since I’d visited here. A new theatre had been built where demonstrations of didgeridoo playing and Aboriginal dance were performed. Outside in the boomerang ...
