Cairns – A Whole Lot Of Nothing

March 14, 2012

So I’ve been in Cairns for just under two weeks. Yep. Two whole weeks. Let me just begin by saying that while it is a very nice place, Cairns is not somewhere you want to spend two weeks with not very much money. We arrived last Monday evening and were met at the bus stop … More Cairns – A Whole Lot Of Nothing

Hostel Review: Gilligan’s, Cairns

March 13, 2012

Whenever I’ve said to anyone ‘oh I’m going to Cairns soon’, their first response is always ‘you HAVE to stay at Gilligan’s, it’s amazing!’. So we did. And it is. Amazing, that is. In fact it’s more of a hotel than a hostel, with rooms ranging from private two bed rooms, right up to the … More Hostel Review: Gilligan’s, Cairns

Scuba Diving The Great Barrier Reef

March 10, 2012

On my last full day in Cairns I finally did one of the things I’ve always dreamt about (it’s even on my bucket list)…scuba diving the Great Barrier Reef! It was absolutely incredible and definitely lived up to my expectations. You can read all about it here, in the article I wrote for Gap Daemon … More Scuba Diving The Great Barrier Reef

Top 10 Things To Do In Cairns

March 10, 2012

1. Stay at Gilligan’s hostel, right in the centre of the city and with plenty of deals on offer! 2. Go for coffee at Bang on Spence Street. The drinks and food are great, the atmosphere is wicked and the staff are pretty easy in the eye! 3. Visit Cairns Regional Art Gallery. The $5 … More Top 10 Things To Do In Cairns

Top 10 Things To Do In Northern Queensland

March 4, 2012

Over the last few weeks I haven’t really stayed in one place for more than 3 days at a time, so haven’t had the chance to do 10 things in each location. To make up for it, here’s my top 10 list of things to do in northern Queensland, from Noosa to Mission Beach: 1. … More Top 10 Things To Do In Northern Queensland

Townsville & Magnetic Island

February 27, 2012

Our last few days in Airlie went by without much to write home about if I’m honest. Once you’ve done your Whitsundays sailing trip there’s not really that much going on, or anything particularly exciting to do, so we spent our days chilling out at the lagoon, watching movies and eating…a lot. We said goodbye … More Townsville & Magnetic Island

Photo Of The Week: Friends Reunited

February 26, 2012

This week our friend Rochelle, who we know from camp, came to visit us. She’d been staying in Melbourne for the last couple of months and we thought it was about time we all caught up. We’ve had an awesome few days together so far, chilling out and reminiscing about fun camp times and all … More Photo Of The Week: Friends Reunited

Okay, so I’ve been on a bit of an uploading rampage…but I’ve had these videos finished off ages ago and nowhere had good enough Internet to upload them. But anyway, here’s the next installment of our Australian adventure:
