So here we are in another new year. Time flies. The Millennium celebrations only seem like a few months ago... but it was 2 years ago! Hope your new year is prosperous and hope you stick to your resolutions! My resolution for...

The past few days have been REALLY good. I've been getting on really well with the English girls. They're mad as a box of frogs. There's Shareen, Suzie and Beryl. (Ferral Beryl from Thighlungra) Ok, ok... so she's not called...

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! HELP ME!!!! Mancunian Man is determined to send me to an early grave by tediating me to death. He is The Tediator. I got back lastnight and he was nowhere to be seen. I breathed a sigh of relief, and settled...

ALLELUEIA! The Tediator has left. He left this morning. Lastnight was quite funny... Everyone in the unit was in the lounge area chatting about various things, and The Tediator was talking about the time he went to New York. He...

Today was SUPERB. I went on an "Extreme Adventure Tour" which included abseiling, climbing, "flying fox", jumping and diving off really high rocks into plunge pools and caving. For an adventure tour, there...

Today Mark, Tilan and me went to see Lord Of The Rings at the cinema in Ballina. The busride there was loooooong and hot, but it was WELL worth it. Lord Of The Rings (the books) is without doubt the best creative work in human...

The past few days have been AWESOME! 3 Danish girls moved in to the appartment, and some blokes they know came round and we started playing drinking games. We all got absolutely wankered. Ed and Stu are top blokes. The Danish...

Tonight we had the toga party and barbecue. And I got slightly tipsy. What do you mean you don't believe me? Ok, ok. I got drunk then. You don't believe that either? Ok.... ok. I'll come clean. I got so completely and utterly...

I woke up this morning with a bad feeling. I had no hangover (I think I may have still been drunk) but I had this niggling feeling that some bad things had happened. Slowly, as the day progressed, people were telling me of my...

In the past few days, most people have left. Stuart left the other morning with the Danish girls, and the morning before that, Rick, tom, Ivan and Massimo left. Which leaves Me, Ed and Toby. We decide to go on a daytrip to...

This morning at 7am, Ed and Toby left. So I'm on my own again now. Boo hoo! After the past few whirlwind days, I almost feel like I'm on a downer. I'll get over it though! 3 blokes have moved in and they're a good laugh. We...

Lastnight, Me, Zak and Tom stayed up and walked to the lighthouse for the sunrise. Lee (the lazy bast) went to bed. What a good decision we made. There was a bunch of cloud, and it looked like it might be a crap one, but...

Hervey Bay : Australia
Today I got the bus from Byron to Hervey Bay via Brisbane. The guys at the Holiday Village couldn't believe I was leaving. When I said I'll be back Mark, the owner, said "Don't bloody threaten me,...

Fraser Island : Australia
Today, I went to Fraser Island. Again :) I met everyone in the groups for the first time this morning, and everyone seems like they're going to get on well, which is good. In the truck I'm in, there's:...

Fraser Island : Australia
....... A ranger came round to examine our camp (and after casting a few suspicious glances at the splintered tree limbs strewn about the camp) told us how there'd been an attack on a woman by a dingo...

Fraser Island : Australia
*YAWN* Alarm goes off at 4:45am. The grey light of dawn peeks into the tent (cos there was no zip on the flaps *tsk*) and Me, Ed and Toby get up and start waking up everyone else. It's a good show! 14...

Hervey Bay : Australia
Waking up early to extend my stay for the night, I say goodbye to the 2 gorgeous girls, Ursi and Cecilia. Shame to see them go. However, I have a feeling I'll be bumping into them again! Ed and Toby move...

Noosa : Australia
Today, me and ed had to get up early to catch a bus. We decided to head south to Brisbane but take a few days to do it by going via Noosa. Said goodbye to Stunt Toby as this is probably the last time I'll see...

Noosa : Australia
Today the girls came up with the idea of going for a walk down the river. Ed and I followed their lead as they took us on a marathon journey through the meandering streets of Noosa on the lookout for a footpath...

Noosa : Australia
Today the girls left on the Oz bus to stay at Mooloolaba. Boohoo! Me and Ed spend the afternoon on the beach and we spend most of it in the water purposely letting killer waves chew us up and spit us out. It's...
