Novotel Twin Waters Resort

Woke up feeling very tired then had some breaky. Saw wild horses on the drive out of rainbow beach. Headed south to the #24 steve irwin way then onto the zoo. Just an unreal day at the zoo. Saw every australian animal I could imagine(except platypus) and many others. Got to pet a turtle, wambat and Koala. Layed next to and damn near cuddled with grey and red kangaroos. Got too close to one of the reds and he got up and gave me a shove :O. Hand fed 2 ...

Matt and Lori purchased a fridge whilst we were away.<br><br>Noosa, just 14km&#8217;s down the road provided us with a venue for lots of beach activities and it was there that I also caught up with my friend Eliza-Jane (on Vic school holidays with most of the rest of ...

... amazing to see the tigers and how the keepers were just casually playing with them in the enclosures, something im sure we wouldnt see back home. <br><br>One thing i have learnt about Australia is there love for Steve Irwin and his family. Everyone is absoloutely obsessed with him and the family and he was some sort of national treasure to them. His daughter 'Bindi' has to be the most irritating looking child i have ever seen and the whole place was ...

... and fishermen evacuated Fraser Island in the fear that Hamish was headed for Sandy Cape and this is where it was expected to hover. The Great Sandy National Park, including Fraser Island and the Inskip Peninsular were closed, all four-wheel drive access had been banned, many guests at the Kingfisher Bay and Eurong resorts were evacuated amid steady rain and gusty winds, the barge services were being cancelled as of Monday, about 10,000 residents from a low-lying "danger ...

... of camping in 34 degree heat and 80% humidity so we treated ourselves to an air-conditioned cabin! (What budget??). It was the right choice and perfect respite from the suffocating climate. The only reason we headed to Cairns was to access the Barrier Reef. We chose a small company (and boat!) to take us out for the day. Unfortunately, the sea was 'quite'choppy which made the journey a bit rough - but I managed to suppress my inevitable motion sickness by ...

... Steve Irwin, saying he was crazy or used his children for publicity or whatever, I have a lot of respect for the man. He built his zoo as a way of conserving Australian wildlife and bringing it to the public. He fostered in people a respectful fear and love of nature, especially with his croc shows. His whole zoo is set up so that people can be interactive with the animals- a wallaby petting park, huggable koalas, amazing bird ...

... Hyva niin! Uskomaton muuten kuinka paljon paivassa on tunteja, kun koulu ei viela vie aikaa eika oo tietokonetta, jonka aaressa tuhlata tunteja. Tanne kirjastoon ei jaksa joka valissa tulla eika kamppisten koneita kehtaa lainata koko aikaa niin sita aikaa kaiken muun tekemiseen on aivan hurjasti! Josko sita taalla oppis sulkeen tietokoneen valilla ja lahteen kavelylle tms. sen sijaan, et roikkus koneen aaressa tekemassa jotain "aarettoman tarkeeta". :)

... day we went to Steve Irwin's zoo. It was really quite sad because there was so much memorabilia etc around! The following day we had a couple of hours free before our bus so we played a game of tennis &amp; went for a swim. Because where we stayed was quite out of the way it was surrounded by wild kangaroos - they just came &amp; sat outside your room or just outside the pool area - it was wicked.

... along the beach and found ourselves an RV park to stay. I woke up and went for a run around the park and along the beach. This is when I decided to start running at night cause it's way to hot even though I run at 7am. After the run I came back and had a shower and we made our way into the town. We walked along the beach for 2 hours with there being almost no one there, 27 degrees and sunny like every day it seems. Got the first burn on my feet. Gotta jet running outta internet time
