woohoo!! just back from frasier island now, some feckin crack.
before all that, rockhampton = zzzzzzzzzzzzzz. place has feck all, basically shuts down at midday on a saturday and doesn't wake up again til lunchtime on monday. add in going out of your head in agony with a wisdom tooth and it was a pretty unenjoyable place.
anyways, got to hervey bay and met up with jimmy and the lads here. this place is much more like it, has 10km of beach for starters. we went whale watching the first day we got here, was pretty cool, the whales were fairly energetic and came very close to the boat so we got a good look at all of them.
from there, me, joan, jimmy, jenny, ger, maudi, quinner, davey and seanin hired a 4wd and camping gear and headed for fraisier island. the place is amazing, white sand everywhere, really beautiful freshwater lakes to swim in and some nice weather. great craic belting around the beach ad the sand tracks in the 4wd, bouncing all over the shop.
throw in 10 crates of beer, 2litres of whiskey, 2litres of vodka, a few litres of wine and some graigue sponsored idiocy and you have one hell of a party!!
$250 of food + $400 of beer = caaaaaaaaaammmmmm on
tis nice to be back on the mainland now and to be able to have a hot shower and food that don't come from a tin.
place is class and would recommend it to anyone.
heading to brisbane tomorrow for a day or two and from there we'll be flying onto sydney for the last leg of our oz ramblings
