Day 10: Travelled to the nearby coastal town of Yeppon. Really natural and the beaches are out of this world with massive bays overlooking loads of scattered islands along the coastline. One of the islands is called The Great Keppel Island which was reccommended to us by Mooreen (the woman on the boat). So we went to the Information centre and booked it up. It has white beaches and has coral reefs swimming distance from the shore. If you have time google it and see how nice it is. We will be going for 3 days, 2 nights leaving on Sunday. We can't wait. Took some time out of our busy shedule to watch a load of school kids getting chased around and around a shopping centre by a Tuant inspector which was hilarious, brings me back to my youth. Went down the beach for a while then had dinner over a lake with the sunset, the pictures are great. Also caught a fish using my steak dinner as bait. They were biting loads, cant really blame them as it was tasty. Then had a night walk along the beach and forgot where we put our sandals so I had to stumble over sand dunes and bushes to find them. Found a spot near wetlands which isnt a good idea for mosquitos but went ahead anyway. Note to self: Gotta buy insect repellent tommorrow.

Destination Unknown: Day 1. Well you guys that do not know what we are upto here goes. We intend to travel around Oz in a converted van for the next 3 months. We head off from Brisbane today and are heading north, we havent planned a route yet and are just gonna hit the road.
We started packing yesterday for a few hours and ran out of time, so katy (my girlfriend) started flapping and going mad. I had to let her in on a little secret... that we have nowhere to get to in a hurry, no deadline to be out and that she is going mad for no reason. She laughed and saw my point of view.
So today we packed up the rest of our shit Had a last warm shower? Which I acted as if I was going on a first date, giving myself a deleuxe wash instead of a normal standard, really scrubbing myself as if it was the last time ever I was washing. By this time Kristian (my friend) was making last supper. So in the next few hours we should be heading off (4pm - whoops a little late but hey whats the rush). I'm a laid back person anyway, so if this trip makes me any more laid back and you want to see me ill be lying horizontal on some beach waiting
for the next coconut to fall from the tree. More from us later.
