We can rent bikes & surfboards for free - we share our 'room' (house) with 3 nice girls & one boy who is working here.
Living room, kitchen, bathroom, 2 bedrooms and the garden are a part of our accomodation ! awsome & enjoy it so much !

By the way.. we've got 'Django' as our pet. His wife was out today so maybe see her tomorrow !Read more

I fell in love with this beautiful place !
I have never had taken so much videos & pictures of a place like here in Noosa !
Everyday you can see some reptils.. Here the sound of a lot of birds !

The hostel is kind like the 'Villa Kunterbunt' !
BEAUTIFUL !
The beach is just 3 minutes walk away and the water is so clear & freshed up.
Enjoyed the time difinitly ! Every day !

Our new years eve party was so different than home !
Not that much alcohol because we weren't in the mood to drink.. Not a lot of people in our age & at 12 pm there wasn't parties or fireworks anymore..
I'm really disappointed. Anyway the next new years eve party will be legendary.

At this moment we are waiting for our bus to rainbow beach to get the breefing for fraser island - so excited !Read more

FRASER ISLAND

We were 28 people and had 4 cars (Toyota 4WD)
We were group 2 and had the car number:

806•SYW Queensland Sunshine State

Our group was mixed with 2 boys from Kanada, 1 boy from the Netherlands, 1 girl from Finnland, 2 girls from Germany, Lea & me - First we've done a stop at lake Makenzy.
So beautiful !!! The water has an amazing colour & is so clear !
After this stop we've made a lunch break in a rainforest. The walk should be 15 minutes but Lea & me haven't listen to the guide & took thw wrong way which wad an hour.
Anyway we survive again.
After a long drive through a forest without streets we had a broken car.. Car 3 was stopped..
Our guide had called Pippies beachhouse & we had to wait from 14:33 to 16:55.
In this time Peter (guide) had explained us the jelly fishes. He had tooked one of the death fisches at the beach & gave it to me.
I was screaming - can't describe that feeling.. It wasn't that bad but i was shocked of the feeling ! - by the way: it was a bit burning & that jelly fish wasn't alive ! I don't want to know how it feels when they are !
When we had another car for group three we went to our camp for dinner & went to bed early.Read more

FRASER ISLAND

We were getting up at 04:15 for the sunrise. I have tooked my sleeping bag & my camera & went into the car.
We were driving for 5 minutes to a shipwrak and were waiting for the beautiful view.

Back in the camp we had breakfast & I was scared again by a big lizzard which was jumping on the tree.

When everybody was ready we went to the champagne pools (theese are little bowls at the beach arised by volksnic aktivities).
It is prohibited to go swimming in the ocean because of the jelly fishes & tiger sharks.

Next stop was the Indian head. The Indian head is the highest cliffe on Fraser. Actually you can see there dolphins, sharks and turtels.
But nobody of our group had seen anything..
Except me i saw big groups of fishes & I'm pretty sure that I saw the silhouette of a shark.
After lunch in the camp we were by the colored stones at the beach where we had the second broken car of our group.
The key was broken..
Peter was droven to a tourist place where he founds a mechanic guy who was helping us.
We were waiting for 2 hours..
In the afternoon we were sand boarden which was amazing !!!!
The sand dune where we had to go was so big ! It is unimaginable... We came out of the foreat after a 30 minutes walk & from 1 second to the other second was everything white because of the sand !!!!
In the evening we've had pasta bolognese and played some drinking games.
Awsome day !Read more

FRASER ISLAND

At our last day we went to lake webby at another sand dune. We had a 2 kilometres walk which was to much for me
But it was profitable !! It was like a Spa !!
There were the little fishes which are eaten the dead skin of your body that was so funny !!
So this is nearly the end of the fraser story..
Last but not least:
I was driven the way to the ferry.. Trust me it was horrible !!! Now I'm sure that I'm a good driver !!! The sand was so deep !! We had to be carefull because the water was comming & we had no fuel !!! But Peter said: keep going!
We did ! When we arrived at the ferry the whole car was hot !! and smoldered so much !! best car trip with the best driver ever !!

Back at Pippies Beachhouse:
I was a lucky girl again !!
Me & the boy from Kanada from our car had to drive one of the cars to the garage for repairing them & took one of the checked cars back to the hostel for the new groups. First time allone in a 4WD in Australia - done !
The rest of the day I was drinking goon & had a photoshooting with some reptils !Read more

Before our bus was leaving.. We found a dog which was running over the streets & looked so confused.. I said hello to her & let her smell on me ?!
She was so cute.. She liked us !!! She was waiting with us for the bus.
We asked a young woman for help and she called a number & gave them the registernumber from the nackband.. They are able to contact the owner of the dog.
Hopefully she is safe now..
Will think about & never forget about her ! Lovely troublemaker.
