We arrived in Rainbow Beach on Friday afternoon, and after 3 amazing days out in the bush in Noosa we were absolutely exhausted. So our first night was spent just cooking dinner and chilling out in the hammocks at our hostel, Pippies Beachhouse. On Saturday we had a lovely lie in, after a proper night’s … More No Rain In Rainbow Beach!
After over a month spent in Australia, seeing mainly just cities and beaches, we were craving something different…a new adventure with new experiences. And that is exactly what we found at Gagaju Bush Camp, just half an hour’s drive out of central Noosa. We were picked up from Noosa bus station by Alan, the resident … More Back To Basics In Noosa
This week we headed to Noosa for a break from cities and beaches…when I say we went to Noosa I really mean we went to stay in the bush, far away from civilisation for three days of camping and canoeing in the Everglades. Bliss.
After our not so great experience at the Base hostel in Sydney, you’d probably think that we wouldn’t have stayed at another Base. Well, you’d be right…except that we’d been given vouchers from Wicked travel for Base Central in Brisbane which meant that we’d only have to pay $18 per night…an offer we couldn’t really … More Hostel Review: Base Central, Brisbane
Our last few days in Surfers Paradise were much of the same. The rain didn’t let up until Thursday, which just happened to be Australia Day, so we headed to the beach to meet Eugene and Lucas, our friends from Byron Bay. It was a sweet afternoon, just spent chilling with friends in the (tiny … More Crazy/Lazy Days In Brisbane

This week has been an interesting one. And when I say interesting, I mean rainy…really rainy. So what do you do when it’s raining and you have very little money? Why, go to a free museum of course! The Gallery of Modern Art in Brisbane (or GoMA for short) is a pretty cool place, with … More Photo Of The Week: “Polka Dots Are The Way To Infinity”

Not only is there a swimming pool and a fully licensed bar (with sofas and tv), but there is also a big tv room, ping pong and pool … More Hostel Review: Backpackers Resort, Surfers Paradise
This could be para, para, paradise…or not. Our last few days in Byron were pretty epic, with some fun in the sun, a couple of great nights out and, best of all, a big BBQ with our new friends on our last day. Then it was off to Surfers Paradise which, although only an hour … More Surfers Paradise?
