Displayed times (last time: )

21st - Brisbane - Caught the bus south and landed at the Palace backpackers. (met Chris, whom I spent Xmas with in Melbourne!) Drank in the bar downstairs till about 2ish, but I was knackered so I left early. Keith had gone to stay with a mate.

22nd - It rained all day, so I hung around the hostel today. Life is tough!

23rd - Sun was out so I wandered down to the south bank and checked out the lagoon, pagoda and museam. Nice stuff! Went to see gangs of NY later then headed to bed early.

24th - Went to the Queensland University freshers fair - by chance (honest) we stumbled upon it and took in all the freebies and sussed out all the good venues for partying.later. Wondered round the state parliament for a while then headed back to the Palace for some lunch and sleep. Met the girls from Fraser Island later for some beers, then we caught a cab to the regetta hotel in Twong. It was the international students fresher party. So we mingled and chatted witht the pre-dominatly american crowd. I met some girl that I was a flight with from Darwin to Cairns. Danced and drunk till we left there at 2ish and headed back to the hostel bar.

Tues - We couldn't get out of bed till 12ish then sat in the cafe for a couple of hrs. Just chilled and did nothing all day but recover!

Weds - Sat in the cafe again for a while and then Paul left to catch his bus to Surfers. I got a call from Rich (Fraser Island fame) and he met me there. It was his last nite in Oz, so I persuaded him to come down to Surfers and party hard. So we met Keith and drove down in his saab convertible - unfortunately, I was in the back and it was raining!

Arrived into town in the rain, and went for a walk into town to scope out some bars. Back to hostel to wake Keith up, then back into town for some dinner (KFC bucket). ...
