nr Bundaberg) and chilled there until the buffet dinner was ready. Had a lot of wine for dinner and felt worse for wear...some of the girls from the bus bought me a birthday cake, so we had some yummy dessert. Had some more drinks outside in the mozzie and cane toad infested grounds and then went to bed around 12ish.

13th

Hopped on the bus and we drove to Hervey Bay to get ready for our Fraser Island adventure. Met Keith on the bus, he was from Whitecraigs (1m from where I grew up) and we travelled together and arranged to go on to the island together. Chilled out for most of day - going for a swim, sleep etc.

Went to the bar later to gloat over the England shock result. Back to hostel bar (escape) to shoot some pool and have a couple of drinks. Went to bed early though!

14th - Valentine's day

Thanks for your cards...Mum! Did my washing and went for a swim in the calmest sea I have ever seen... Keith met his 2 mates and we are all went along to our Fraser Island meeting. It was so comical - the stories of you crazy backpackers, both funny and sad were great to hear and made the 2 hrs pass quick. Came out unsure as to what I had learned...our group was really nice and friendly and discussed the shopping for a bit then arranged to meet later in the bar.

Sat by the pool in the hostel across the rd then headed back for 8pm for some drinkies and a getting to know you session. Back to the other hostel bar for drinks until 12ish.

Feb 15th - Safety Briefings

Had a hour long breifing warning us about driving on certain patches of sand/rivers and about some of the campsites. Old scary guy who walked around with a cane hitting stuff to reinforce his point. Caught the cool ferry ride across, adn then drove straight to basin lake for a swim. Beautiful and very refreshing as it was a 45min walk there. Off to lake McKenzie ...
