Agnes Water

Today marks the exact halfway point in our 6 month adventure! All the cliches come to mind; how quickly it has gone and how much we have done in such short space of time. But it is all true and the best bit? There is so much still to come!

After being confronted last night with our bedroom lacking the last 2 foot of its walls and the snoring of our neighbours storming over the parapet we had contemplated having to change hostels. Yet in the end it wasn't so bad, if you take away paying for a private room when it is not so private. So we've decided to stay, going as far as putting down some roots in this little town by booking to go surfing and touring to see kangaroos. We're practically residents now.

To celebrate our halfway point we spent the day at the beach under clear 24 degree heat. Gone are the rains that greeted us in Sydney and the snow of New Zealand's South Island is a distant memory. Fingers crossed this lasts, Queensland knows how to winter!Read more
