Re: Photos from the road

Fraser island is maybe 500k North of Brisbane, next to the town of Hervey Bay. It's tall & skinny, you can't miss it. I'm in Airlie Beach right now. It's a bit southeast of Townsville, and it's the point where the barrier reef is closest to shore. I'll be in the pool for the next couple...

Fraser Island

So I'm in the town of Hervey Bay at the moment, having just returned from a few days on Fraser island. We were pretty much going to give the place a miss, but everybody we ran into kept insisting that we absolutely had to go. They were right. Basically, you fork over some money and they...

still alive

I'm up in Noosa Heads now. It's plenty hot, and the water is warm with perfect waves. No more rashguard. I'm just surfing in a pair of shorts now. That was half the goal for the trip, so now I've just got to make it up to Arlie Beach and get certified to dive. That may be the next stop, or we...

Oi!

Made it out of Thailand, and I'm now kicking it safely in the tourist trap of Surfer's Paradise. I spent a couple nights in Sydney, driving on the wrong side of the road and working the jetlag out of the system. Along the way up the coast I bought the most beat up shortboard I could find....

Visiting the Aussies

Well it's back in Australia again (spent 6 weeks the winter prior travelling all over the east coast). This time confined my visit to Brisbane. Friends took us to a rugby game -- no clue who was playing but drank lots of Bundy.... one has to love the Bundenberg. I also remember adoring the water...

Day 21

Not much to write ... took a walk down to Elizabeth Bay, hung out, flew home.

Day 20

Took a nice, meandering walk from my hotel to the Circular Quay where the ferries leave from. Bought a ticket for a 2-1/2 hour harbour tour -- what a beautiful place! The harbour has numerous bays and coves filled with sailboats and homes overlookign the water. Quite idyllic, and the views of...

Day 19

I was up early due to the constant beeping of someone's alarm clock or watch. However, my early arrival was welcomed by a very tame kangaroo who was looking about for breakfast. He was the island mascot I later learned. Fishermen had actually found her floating in the open seas several...

Day 19 (Continued)

The plane was late and I had difficulty finding a hotel, but eventually settled in.
