Today we woke up feeling fresh after our night in and headed down to the bike shop after our free hostel breakfast (not the best but free food is always nice on a budget haha)! We rented bikes which had baskets on and everything and cycled along surfers paradise beach down the Gold Coast to Burleigh Heads. It was so beaut and we sat and ate lunch on the beach which we had cooked last night! We then locked our bikes up and walked through the national park in Burleigh Heads to the creek and chilled there! Was so nice and felt kind of like the rainforest a bit! We then headed back and cycled home, as fast as we could because the bike shop was closing soon hahhaa. We had dinner on the beach and then went to this huge market along the sea front - was so cool and we bought matching necklaces! We then watched the most amazing busker and headed back to our hostel. We were planning on having a night in but we got pulled into going on another club crawl however we managed to get the price down from $80 to $10!!! Bargain! We went out with friends from the other night and had the best time!Read more

Today we woke up and had our final free breakfast before checking out of the hostel. We went and chilled by the hostel pool and met the nicest girl who was also coming on our bus later that day! We all got the bus to Brisbane together which was actually really short and decided we would spend the day together tomorrow! Millie and I checked into our hostel called Nomads which was kind of odd like a school and there was such a range of ages in our room - from 18-65!! Weird! We headed out to explore Brisbane and walked to south bank where we chilled and had some food. We then went back to our hostel to get ready for bed but bumped into some friends from Gold Coast and they somehow managed to convince us to go out haha! We all went for a big pre with some Irish boys and all us girls and then went out to the club attached to our hostel! Was so much fun!Read more

Today was so much fun! We headed to the south bank parklands which is like a man made beach and lagoon right in the middle of Brisbane city! So strange! We chilled here with our friend from the bus and as we lay there 2 girls from Reigate college spotted us and came over - so random! We sunbathed, swam, got smoothies but it was SO hot we could hardly bare it. We went back to our hostel and on our way back got given a voucher for free dinner! We ordered dinner and ate on the roof of our hostel it was so nice!! We then chilled, watched a documentary together on the roof and went to bed:)Read more

Today we woke up early and packed all our stuff up before checking out of the hostel. I had a dentist appointment at 9am so we headed to the dentist which was handily right opposite our hostel and I got my tooth fixed. She did such a good job, was so pleased! We then went and got the nicest açai bowls for breakfast and ate on the grass in the middle of the city. After breakfast, we rented these electric scooters that everyone rides in Brisbane and omg it was the most fun thing ever! You just stand with two feet on the scooter and shoot around, was so so good! We then headed to the botantical gardens on our scooters and chilled here and wrote our diaries for like 2 hours ( we were quite behind haha). After, we headed back to our hostel and Collected our bags before getting on the bus to Noosa! We arrived at our hostel Nomads and checked into our room, there was the nicest boy in our room called Charlie so we went for dinner us 3 and then got ready to go out! Our friend susanna from Gold Coast was here aswell so we all went out in the club attached to our hostel - so fun!Read more

Today was our first full day in noosa! We woke up and sunbathed by the pool and played catch in the pool with some boys from our hostel which I actually won haha! We then met up with a group of people from another hostel and susanna and all walked along the coast to the fairy pools. They were so so cool and we swam in them before heading back to the beach. Was so fun! We then said goodbye to susanna for good this time :( we were so upset! Me Charlie and Millie then went and bought a snack and sat around the pool with a massive group of people from our hostel, it was so fun! Tonight was ladies night so all the girls got free drinks and if the boys dressed up as girls they got free drinks too! Literally every boy was dressed up it was so funny! We had such a fun night:)Read more

Today we woke up and the weather wasn’t too good but Millie Charlie and I we went in the pool anyway despite the rain! Was so fun we played loads of games and started chatting to some people round the pool! Got changed into warm clothes and went and sat in the common area and watched a film before Charlie had to leave for his bus :( was very sad! We then met a really nice girl called Gina an spent the afternoon with her chatting! Our friend George from home that we spent time with in Byron and surfers was staying with some Australian friends just outside of noosa and so they came to noosa and picked us up and we all went for dinner. Was so much fun and so nice to meet them, they were driving the most bashed up truck ever from their job on the lake, was so funny! Came back and met our new hostel room mates, they were all so nice so we all played cards together and had a night in.Read more

Today was so much fun! Our whole hostel room decided to all walk to the national park together and to the fairy pools. We spent the journey getting to know eachother and it was so funny. We then arrived, swum in the pools and took some pics! After this we headed back to town and all the girls went for lunch to Betty’s burgers and it was delicious! We then returned to the hostel and bought some plain white t-shirts for the UV night that was happening that night. We all got ready and pre-d together and went to the night out, was so so much fun everyone had UV paint everywhere literally!! Met up wjth Lauren our friend from Byron which was so fun and all hung out together!

Today we felt a little bit rough after our night out and had UV paint all over our bed sheets!! It was so sunny so we walked down to the beach 5 of us from our hostel and met some girls we had met last night down there from another hostel! We bought açai bowls which were delicious and then sunbathed for the morning! After this, we headed back to the hostel and swum in the pool and hung out there, chatting to people from our hostel! Had showers, got ready and went out again as all our friends from the first 2 days were coming back from their Fraser trip. Was so much fun to see them all again and we had such a good night!Read more

Today we got up quite late but decided to head to Eumundi markets just outside of noosa! We got a bus which ended up taking quite a while but we eventually arrived and it was amazing. Despite the rain we managed to do slightly more shopping than we probably should have and then had lunch in a cafe near by! We met up with some people we met last night from another hostel and all got the bus back together! After this we had a snooze and then got ready to go out! We had 2 new room mates who were so nice so we all went out together and it was such a fun night! Met some Aussie girls who were so nice and are gonna meet up with back in London!Read more

Today we got up and got the greyhound bus to rainbow beach! We arrived at midday and got upgraded to a private room with a double bed, we were so excited not to be in a 12 bed dorm for one night haha! We decided to explore the beaches and sunbathed before finding the coolest colourful steps! Met some funny girls here who we are gonna meet up with further up! Then went into town for a toastie and headed to pippies Beachhouse for a briefing ahead of our Fraser Island trip tomorrow! Met the nicest people and we were so excited to go! We all had a massive barbecue together and we met two girls Katie and Ellie who we got on with so well! Realised we had some mutual friends and they knew lots of Sashas friends from Durham which was weird! Then headed to bed early as we had a 6am start!Read more
