Hello world, are you listening?

hey all! I'm FREEEEEEEEEEEE! no more stanthorpe, no more toothless allans, no more pruning, or 6am mornings... no more cold weather... no more painkillers. Now I'm in Brisbane, until 9:40 tomorrow night when we hop on another plane up to Cairns again...paradise babayyy!! can't wait. I love that place, and I'm very excited, anticipating our trip down the east coast of australia. We're staying in Cairns until Thursday the 6th now, because 3 or 4 of our friends will be there, so that gives us time to hang out with them, do the reef, laze by the lagoon again, and see harry potter!! haha.. I figure I would write out my bus schedule for all those interested (mostly my family) so you can keep up with me and know where I am at all times :) haha. especially considering many of these beaches and islands do not have proper cell phone reception or accessible internet, so I might be unreachable for a few days this coming month haha. Just remember I'm 14 hours ahead of you Canadians when you're checking what place I'll be in!

Rightio...haha, the man in Stanthorpe who drove us to work and managed the hostel said that basically 500 times a day.
Here's the sched, and the probable hostel names for accomodation at each place. Hope it's helpful!

So like I said, we're in Cairns from the 1st til the 6th at 7:25 am when we take the bus to Mission beach, where we arrive at 9:25am. We're hoping to stay overnight there on that beautiful beach at a place called Scotty's Beach House, which is apparently right on the beach (we've heard that before--cape tribulation, and it lied, so we'll see). Then from there we leave on Friday the 7th at 9:25am for Airlie beach, which is a long ride... we'll arrive in Airlie at 5:25pm on the 7th. We will stay at Magnum's hostel that night, and then in the morning we will depart on the first part of our package deal (other than the Cairns stay) to WHITSUNDAYS!!!!!!! I can't wait for this, it's going to be gorgeous. We're staying on Koala's adventure island (there's a website, google it) until the 11th, when we head back to land at Airlie Beach.
From Airlie on the 11th we depart at 5:25pm and take a bus overnight to Hervey Bay. We arrive there at 5:55am on the 12th (delightful time isn't it?). We will hop on a boat and go to Fraser Island that day, for our 2 night 4 wheel drive safari. When that's done we head back to Hervey Bay where we stay at Koala's (we booked a Koala's package if you can't tell) for two nights there. Then on Sunday August 16th we leave Hervey Bay at 5:55am for Rainbow Beach where we arrive at 7:40 am. There we plan on staying at Pippie's Beachhouse for the night. The following day, monday the 17th, we're heading to Noosa at 7:40 and arriving at 10:10 am. I'm excited about this place because we're staying at Gagaju Bush Camp where you actually stay in the bush, still in dorms, but there are campfires and native traditions and lots of wildlife. It will be a great Australian experience. On August 18th we're taking the bus from Noosa to Brisbane, and switching buses, taking one from Brisbane to Surfers Paradise, where we arrive at 2:25pm. We're staying at Trekker's Backpackers Resort there for one night, and then departing on the 19th at 5:45pm for Byron Bay, where we arrive at 7:30 that night. We're planning on staying in Byron two nights since we get there so late. We'll stay at Cape Byron Lodge for those two days, and get free pancakes for breakfast! :) (a few of the places we're staying offer free breakfast which is nice). After Byron Bay we're heading back to reunite with Bonnie, Amber and the others in Sydney ....that bus is an overnight drive from august 21st to the 22nd, when we will get there at 6:40am.
so thats that! hope youre well xoxo miss you all
