Last days in Australia!!!!

Hello everyone this will be my offical last BLOG of my journey thru NZ and OZ!!! Sad to leave but happy to go home as well...

Last i talked to you i was about to set sail to the Whitsundays :) it was amazing time but it did rain for most of my trip. That was the first and only time it has rained during my travells where i was on a tour. But we made the most of it and Snorkelled all day and still went to the beaches (which we were lucky the sun came out for the 2 hours we were there) That was at white haven beach the 3rd most photographed place in Australia apparently. it was so nice there. Had our lovely stinger suits on as there were dangerous box jelly fish there. The boat had a hot tub, diving board and a slide so we took full advantage of those. The guides were so much fun it made our sail alot better. our motto was "F the rain".

I then headed to Rainbow Beach to do a camping trip on Fraser Island with 4x4 cars that fit 8 ppl per car for 3 days and 2 nights. When i arrived they gave me Dinner, Free internet and a jug of beer for swtich to the day later tour. I was booked for 3 nights anyways so i didnt mind. No one wanted or already had drinks when i got the pitcher so i had to drink the whole thing myself haha.

It was the best trip ever. Tho we didnt shower the whole time, they even told us not to bother bringing soap/shampoo/conditioner cause the Dingoes liked the smells so would try to get in our tents. We didnt have toilets either, the ocean or diggin a hole was the only way. And we werent allowed to use soap for dishes so used the ocean, which was hilarious trying to not get them sandy after "washing them" - and minus the part that we used it as our toilet as well. And we slept in tents on the ground no mattress just sleeping bags. So your probably asking why this was the BEST trip ever haha. This is why: We went to Eli Creek first where we drifted down it to the ocean. Then Indian Head - which was a huge rock where you can see a view of alot of the island. Mackenzie lake - the clearest and bluest water ever. I was first in and last to get out it was so warm and peaceful. And Champagne Falls, which was a couple pools of water where the oceans waves crashed into the walls. I had the best group ever - 8 girls Susan and Jeska from Holland, Anna and Elin from Sweden, Heli from Finland, Ely from Australia Melbourne, Kerry from England and ME nickname CANADA (which we were the best drivers, didnt get stuck once and the mostly boy car behind us got stuck atleast 5 times) We drove on the sand island with no roads just ocean/sand. It was such a cool experience. Our radio didnt work so we sang the whole time they called our car the Human Jukebox...

Then went to Surfers Paradise and met up with Anna and Elin for drinks and it wasnt the best weather so just relaxed for the 2 nights i was there.

Then and now in Byron Bay for the last 4 days. BEST town ever dont wanna leave. Where i went Surfing - got up first try :), walked to the light house as well the most eastern point in Australia, went to a full moon party at Cheeky Monkeys Bar with the Swedish girls (anna and elin) got glow in the dark paint all over us, it was $5 for us to get in burgers, and a jagger shot included!! What a deal haha. Then went to Nimbin today a hippie town in a hippie bus with a hippie guide hahah. Weird but funniest experience.

Now going for dinner with Anna and Elin tonight my 2nd to last night in Oz.

See ya soon, I return on Saturday March 10th.
