Palazzo Versace Hotel Gold Coast Main Beach

Friday morning we pick up mitsy the mitsubishi. she is a beautiful campervan outfitted with all the camping and sleeping gear we need. We head off on a two-week road trip to Melbourne. Our first stop is lunch up at the top of Tambourine Mtns. Enjoying rainforest walks, wineries, and quaint mountain villages. We then head back down to the coast. Late afternoon coffee Kingscliff, then just north of Byron Bay for the night.

Thursday night I got on Skype for the first time. I had issues because of the ****** computer I was using, but it's still a pretty good deal (free from computer to computer). I logged into my email to get the number for the guy so I could call him the next morning and accept my job, but I found an email back from the other company in Newcastle. They want to hear from me. I called them the next morning at 9:30. I was a little stressed so I may not of come off as diplomatic as I ...

... put one pair on hold and go and ask dad. By the time we left the store it was absolutley pelting with rainm, and the bad news was there was no shelter to be seen anywhere around us. We were both wearing thongs so we didn't want to run and ended up walking through the absolutley pelting rain back to the Morocan. By the time we arrived back we were soaked to the skin so we both hopped in the warm showers. I then headed upstairs for some reading and bed.

... We had met with them up at the Sunshine coast before Christmas, during calmer weather, where they had told us of their plans to travel down to Sydney before heading across to Wellington, New Zealand. It turned out that the weather had not been in their favour and they had only made it a few hundred kilometers down to the Gold Coast, before they decided to anchor up in port there and await calmer weather. So we met them in the pouring ...

... up suspense, your're fired into the air to simulate a Batwing Launch. The speed you're thrown into the air is unbelievable and at the top there are several seconds of amazing weightlessness before you freefall halfway down the tower again, leaving your belly at the top. Then the whole rig goes up and down a few more times at a more sedate speed before landing on the ground again. It's an amazing experience and supposedly the initial launch subjects you ...

... our hostel and bed. Day 51 - Having dropped the car off we went for a stroll into the centre of Coffs. Today was another scorcher and rather stupidly we decided to walk back along the river and back to the hostel. Had a nice couple of beers and a dip and chilled around the pool, then went for a look around the harbour. The harbour was really small, and certainly had a more family feel to it than we were used to. By this stage the ...

... with minimal stops he had to pay big for it. I thihk he payed 1600 Aussie dollars(about 750 quid), my round the world ticket only cost 300 quid extra than that. We spent the night in the hostel to save the pennys for his leaving bash on Thursday night, it weren't the most productive night but we still had a good crack with the other people in the room. On Wednesday I had work at Sofitel washing up again, I don't mind it as all the staff are young and you can have a good ...

... was a moving tribute to these people who were our age and in Australia for the same reasons we are. We arrived into the retail park that is Hervey Bay that afternoon and early the next morning were introduced to the group of people with whom we would be sharing our self-drive explorations of Fraser Island over the next three days. There is something undeniably intimate about being crammed into a six-seater 4x4 with ten other people, and we quickly got to know ...
