I get numerous questions from many friends and YouTube subscribers alike about where exactly Alice and I went along Australia’s East Coast and which places we would recommend. Here’s the full breakdown of where we stopped off at and which places you can’t miss. Melbourne – Cairns 1. Melbourne We first flew into Melbourne which was by far […]
I Jumped out of an Aeroplane!
Let’s talk about the time I jumped at 14,000 ft… When Alice and I were planning the activities we would be doing in Australia, skydiving was definitely on the agenda. Unlike Alice, I’m not a definite adrenaline-junkie but if I was going to do one in my lifetime at all, Australia would be the place to […]
Staying at Base X Hostel | Magnetic Island
I was really excited to go to Magnetic Island as I’d heard all about the chilled atmosphere, the Barbie cars and the range of animals. The island was also supposed to be amazing for koala spotting but I didn’t get round to doing this & didn’t actually (unfortunately) see any wild ones. There are only two […]
The Greyhound Hop-on Hop-off Pass | Australia’s East Coast
A lot of people have asked me how I got around in Australia and this post is dedicated to telling you 🙂 What did we get? Alice and I both opted for the Greyhound Sydney-Cairns Hop-on Hop-off pass which (I think?) was priced at $425 AUD at the time but I know we paid £213. […]
Sailing the Whitsundays with New Horizon
Today I’ll be taking you back to my time in Australia over Dec-Feb… After our Fraser Island Tour and homeless night in Hervey Bay, Alice and I had the Whitsundays next up on our backpacker itinerary. We had gone almost seven weeks without using any travel agency or company to help book our activities (there are pros […]
Being homeless. Literally. | Hervey Bay
After being dropped off at our hostel in Hervey Bay (Flashpackers) by the Cool Dingo Tours bus, Alice and I headed out to find something to eat. Quickly realising that there were no small cafés or restaurants nearby, we continued heading in one direction in the hope that we would stumble across something. We were starving […]
Fraser Island Part III | Cool Dingo Tours
If you missed Part I and Part II you can catch them here. Our final day on the island had arrived. After hurriedly rushing down to breakfast and chucking our luggage in the luggage room, we hopped onto the bright pink tour bus and made our way to Lake Birrabeen. Here, I got to try […]
Fraser Island Part II | Cool Dingo Tours
We had heard that Fraser Island was prone to rain but we had hoped the sun would stick it out for the remainder of our tour. Unfortunately this was not the case. If you missed Part I you can catch it here. Our second day started bright and early and we were treated to a breakfast […]
Fraser Island Part I | Cool Dingo Tours
Fraser Island is the world’s largest sand island and a stop off along Australia’s east coast that shouldn’t be missed. So Alice and I booked onto the Cool Dingo Tour and were picked up promptly at 7:50am from the Rainbow Beach tourist office. The coach drove us to the ferry pick-up and after a very […]
A night in Rainbow Beach
After our two hours of riding the waves back in Noosa, we jumped on the Greyhound bus up to Rainbow Beach for the night. It was such a mad rush that our bikinis still hadn’t had time to properly dry and our hair was still soaking wet but oh well, that’s backpacker life for you. We arrived in […]
