Cairns to Sydney - Part 2
Day 7 - Airlie Beach to Kroombit Cattle Station
Up early today although nearly everyone got onto the bus and went to sleep.
Today was a big driving day. Our first stop of the day was at Sarina, a small sugar township where we got to try 'barefoot bowling'. Basically lawn bowls which is apparently popular with all ages in Australia - I wasn't entertained for long.
Back on the bus because it was going to be such a long driving day we were allowed to watch two films the driver decided on a chick flick (The Devil Wears Prada) and the a lads movie (Chopper) - both of which managed to pass the time along with some music.
Later that afternoon we arrived at Kroombit Cattle Station. We got checked into our cabins and had a fantastic evening meal of Soup with Roast Beef and Veg.
The owner of the station told us a bit about the place and his work before giving out whips (and goggles) so we could practice cracking a whip (not sure why).
I nearly popped my arm out of it's socket trying to crack it so I gave up gracefully. Next on the list for the evenings entertainment was the mechanical bull ride. I was annoyed at myself for not really watching the previous contestants. I ended up only staying on for 6 spins as I started slipping away from the rope. My arm then started smacking against the family jewels - when I couldn't take the pain anylonger I flew headfirst onto the mat - it hurt (check out the pain on my face!!)
Day 8 - Kroombit to Hervey Bay
After breakfast next day I went horse riding. I quite enjoyed this too - my horse was called Amy and she was really chilled out. The first bit of the ride was just a slow walk but then we got to the padocks and had to round up a herd of goats into a mustering station. You had to ride around behind the goats and guide them into the enclosure. To hurry the goats on you had to shout - Up, up, up, up - which became a bit of a catch phrase for the rest of the trip.
There were two fields of goats to round up before we took the horses back to the stables.
The next event was a goat rodeo - which was absolutely nuts - the idea was to pretend the goats were cows that needed branding. We were put into teams of three - one had to catch the goat, the second had to flip it on its side and the last person had to get the branding iron and press it on the goats side for 3 seconds. The whole thing was timed and there were penalties for being too rough or grabbing the wrong end of the branding iron.
The whole thing was hillarious. Because there were 3 lads in our team they picked the craziest goat they had which bounced around the arena before jumping up and over the side just missing my head!! The second goat they got for us was even bigger but not as lively - I spent about ten minutes chasing after it before tagging in my team mate for some assistance - needless to say we didn't win!
The final activity was shooting and I was actually quite good at it hitting 4 out of the 5 clay pigeons.
(Thanks to Pistol Pete for the photo - If you look closely you can see the clay shattering)
We left Kroombit and headed to Hervey bay. I had really enjoyed my time there though and it was nice to do some different activities.
That night we arrived in Hervey bay.
I hated the hostel there - Palace Backpackers - we had to queue for ages to check in - we then went to another hostel Beaches for some food and waited ages again. When I got back to my room they had checked someone else in who was now asleep in my bed.
I woke her up and we went to complain to the night manager who tried to blame us - his English was atrocious. He then tried to move the girl into another full room before moving her into a double without any word of an apology to either of us - in the process he managed to lock himself out of his room - I had to excuse mself before I resorted to violence!
Day 9,10 - Fraser Island
More queing madness at beaches again next morning as we struggled to get our "free" breakfast - I had to stand by the kitchen door to get mine, before queing again to check out of Palace and get bags into storage. When I went up to complain about the previous night the woman behind the counter just shrugged her shoulders which really got my back up - she said I needed to speak to the manager who wasn't there!
Anyway if I mention Palace Backpackers enough here - Google should pick it up - don't stay here!!
Anyway once on the bus heading to the Fraser Island Ferry I managed to calm down.
We were on the island in no time at all. Fraser Island is the largest sand island in the world at 1630 km². It was named as a World Heritage site in 1992.
Most of our group were doing a Ranger Guided safari so once on the island we met up with our guide and got on board our 4 wheel drive coach. There were quite a few other people who joined us too including the girl who had been sleeping in my bed!
We drove off into the rainforest. I was a bit tired and found the guide a bit irritating at first as he never stopped talking - he was a bit like a failed stand up comedian laughing at his own jokes, but as the trip went on his humour grew on me. If you asked him anything (when he wasn't near a mic), he'd give you all the info you needed.
We headed to our first stop of the day - Bow Lake where we went swimming. Although it is a sand island the lakes are all fresh water with crystal clear water that you can drink as your swimming in it. The freshwater lakes on Fraser Island are some of the cleanest lakes in the world. From Bow Lake we did a rainforest walk down to central station (an old logging train station) where we had a buffet lunch - yet again with no preparation or washing up on our part. After another short walk we headed to Lake Mckenzie the biggest of the lakes on the island.
This was a great spot with a nice beach - The beach sand is nearly pure silica and is good for washing hair, teeth, jewellery, and exfoliating the skin. A few of us decided to swim across - well I think I misjudged my swimming ability as I was absolutely knackered when I reach the other side. A few of the more athletic chose to swim back whilst a couple of us walked back around - we saw a big lizard on the walk back.
After a coffee break we headed back to Kingfisher Bay's Wilderness Lodge where we had time to relax - we were just sitting out on the balcony when we were hit with a thunder storm. It rained so much - we were glad not to be doing a self drive camping trip as the tents would probably have been washed away.
The buffet diner that evening was really good.
Next morning the weather was still a bit dodgy but we made the best of it. After a buffet breakfast we headed out onto Seventy-Five Mile beach where we stopped to see the shipwreck the Maheno. On June 25th, 1935 she was being towed from Melbourne to Japan for scrap metal when she was caught in a strong cyclone. A few days later, on July 1935 she drifted ashore and was beached on Fraser Island.
There was an option to do a flight around the island - the planes landed and took off from the beach however there seemed to be a bit of cloud cover and I didn't reckon it would be worth while.
From here we headed further along the beach to Coloured Sands and spotted some dingoes - supposedly some of the most pure bred in Australia.
We stopped at a giant sand dune - on the climb up the guide spotted a cane toad which he picked up - it proceeded to empty it's bladder on him which we found hilarious. We climbed up to the top of the sand dunes and a few crazy characters jumped down them. Next stop was Champagne Pools - these were disapointing not only due to the bad weather but because a red algae was growing in the sea which meant there was no champagne colour / effect.
We stopped for lunch at the base of Indian Head (named by Captain Cook as he saw loads of Aborigines stood up there waving spears at him). We climbed up after lunch to look down into the water where you can often see turtles and other marine life swimming by - unfortunately I think the water was a bit too rough.
Our next stop was Eli Creek. A frshwater stream which flows into the Sea. We walked along a boardwalk then jumped down into the creek.
We started a game of Aussie Rules/Football/American Football at the end of the creek on the sand with teams having to get from one side to the other - Fraser Island rules. I didn't play for long. It turns out afterwards that Fred a lad from Monaco had one of his ribs broken later in the game.
Our last stop of the day was to see Stone Tool Sand Blow.
We were then given the option to get the 5 O'clock ferry or go back and use the resort pool and spa and get another free meal back at the bar, before getting the 8 o'clock ferry back to Hervey Bay. Well it seemed like a bit of a no brainer to me but only a few of us decided to stay.
Well we got the ferry back and got dropped at my favourite accommodation. Reception was closed and we had to call so we could check in. It was the same gimp who had double booked us and he didn't have the key to the storage room where my bag was. I didn't bother kicking off this time and just smiled. This time he called someone to bring out the key.
Day 11 - Hervey Bay to Brisbane
A bit of a strange day today. We first drove to Rainbow Beach and headed to see a Sand Blow. It was ok but no where near as good as the ones we'd just seen on Fraser.
Next we went back to a field outside a hostel. The notes said we would "take part in a cultural demonstration, learning about the didgeridoo, boomerang and spear throwing" - I thought we might have had an Aboriginal guide to talk us through it. Instead we got Pistol Pete who gave us a brief talk on the weapons and instruments (none of which he could use very well!) then let us loose - pretty rubbish really.
We then headed on to Noosa. I think Noosa was the first place I went to where I would have liked to be doing the hop on hop off Oz Experience trip so I could stay longer.
On our way into Brisbane we stopped at a lookout over the Glass House mountains. It was quite a climb and a few of us took a beer to the top to celebrate! The views were spectacular although we could also see some forest fires in the distance as well as the Brisbane skyline.
Late in the afternoon we pulled into Tin Billys in the middle of Brisbane. It was a nice backpackers but the bar was pretty crowded. It was the day we lost the Ashes so there was a fair few Australians wanting to talk to us.
Two of the lads from the group were leaving us in Brisbane so of course we had to have a few beers with them.
Day 12 - Brisbane to Byron Bay
Everyone was hungover this morning. Pistol Pete was dissapointed as he'd given us option to go to Waterparks, Themeparks etc and all we wanted to do was sleep. We stopped at Surfers Paradise for a few hours. I lazed on the beach til it got too hot then went to look around the shops. Surfers Paradise is a bit like the Costa del Sol with high rise apartments built right next to the beach - not my cup of tea really.
We arrived at our accommodation in Byron Bay (The Holiday Village) in the early afternoon. I had a nap and did some washing - nothing too strenuous in preparation for my surf lesson next day!
That night we checked out the 5 Dollar meals at Cheeky Monkeys and "won" some jugs of beer.
Day 13 - Byron Bay
Most of us had our first surf lesson early today. We were driven out to a surfing beach near Lennox Heads where we got into our wetsuits, got our boards (big ones which are easy to balance on when learning) and had a warm up. We were taught the basics techniques on the beach.
The first thing I learned was that when you are learning you have to catch the waves after they have broken, otherwise you get dumped into the water.
The conditions were pretty rough but as I was to find out it was a good first experience as there were plenty of waves - the water was deep too so you had to actually had to paddle your board rather than just standing next to it.
I was really pleased when I managed to stand up for the first time (and even more pleased the photographer got some shots).
It was quite tiring getting thrown around by those waves but I really enjoyed it.
That afternoon we took a walk up to Cape Byron lighthouse. It was quite a walk and it was a hot afternoon. There were some good views up there - it's Australias most Easterly point.
After all that exercise it was time for a pint so we headed down to the Beach Hotel for a few. It was a really nice spot sitting outside in the shade watching the World go by.
That evening we went to see the new Bond film - Casino Royale - I really enjoyed it particularly as it was a bit different from the usual plots and storylines.
Again, I absolutely loved Byron Bay and would have loved to have stayed longer. The town is such a random mix of famlies, hippies and backpackers. The council seem to have made an effort not to commercialise it too much - I hope it stays that way.
Day 14 - Byron Bay to Surf Camp
We had the morning to relax in Byron - which didn't prove very relaxing as I spilt a jar of coffee in my backpack (don't ask!!) and it was raining.
Pete picked us up and we headed for Surf Camp at Arawara.
We headed down to the beach for a surf lesson. The conditions were a bit different as we spent a long time waiting for the waves. The water was very shallow too so you had to be careful when you fell off into only a few inches of water. It was a bit easier to position yourself for the waves though as you could walk the board out and get on.
We had dinner back at the camp and a few beers.
Some of the "surf crew" as they called themselves were a bit weird as they talk liked Bill and Ted, called everybody Dude and kept shouting Woo Who Who! Very funny for a bit - but then really annoying.
Day 15 - Surf Camp to Barrington Tops
After breakfast we headed down to the beach for our last surf lesson. It was raining but the waves were better - We had to move around a bit too as the tides changed. The waves were breaking really quickly at the end and it was quite hard to get out. I didn't feel like I improved that much but I did get better at paddling onto the waves.
While we were waiting to leave one of the Surf Crew really annoyed everyone by constantly trying to sell the photos so everyone started heckling him which was hillarious.
We left the Surf Camp and headed for Barrington tops.
In the afternoon we did a walk in the sub-tropical rainforest of the Barrington River. There were a lot of old goldmine tunnels scattered about and it was nice to get off the bus for a bit.
We arrived at the Barrington River Lodge. We did the paperwork to check-in then waited to be shown our rooms. We waited ages - then Pete took us down to where we would be meeting that evening. After even more waiting we were squashed into our minibus and taken to our room - the accomodation was really spread out. We were then told that we would be collected for dinner in 10 minutes - after 20 minutes we decided to walk back.
There was the option to night kayak but no one from our group wanted to do it. There was an unlimited pizza night and the by now compulsory beer.
Day 16 - Barrington Tops to Sydney
We left Barrington early and headed straight to Sydney. Pete had to fly back up the coast later that afternoon to cover for another driver so it was just a race to get to Sydney.
We arrived at Sydney in the afternoon to conclude what had been an excellent tour. I had a brilliant time with lots of new experiences and made some new friends.
Up early today although nearly everyone got onto the bus and went to sleep.
Today was a big driving day. Our first stop of the day was at Sarina, a small sugar township where we got to try 'barefoot bowling'. Basically lawn bowls which is apparently popular with all ages in Australia - I wasn't entertained for long.
