To get to magnetic island is easy enough - bus to Townsville, hopped on a ferry and then a bus to the hostel when I arrived. Most people stay at ‘base’. Whilst I’m not a fan of the base hostels as they can be a bit dirty, loud and uncomfortable, this one is an exception. … Continue reading Magnetic island
After finishing Fraser Island on the 27th May, I had a week to recover and make my way 620 miles North to Airlie beach for my Whitsunday Islands boat trip. I first got a lift 2.5 hours to Hervey Bay from a family friend (this was completely out their way, but I guess to aussies … Continue reading Whitsundays

This included 3 nights accommodation, 3 days meals and … Continue reading Spot X Surf camp
For anyone new to my blog, you may be a little confused with any egg references in my earlier posts... this is because my blog used to be called 'eggventuretales' - the tales of an egg on an adventure. I decided this was a bit lame. Egg is no more. Much love xox
So let's rewind a little! On my last day in the blue mountains, Meg drove us to the start of the walk we did. As I was crammed across the top of her fruit blender, squished between the front seat and a load of boxes, a story unfolded. Megan is from Melbourne and moving up … Continue reading Road tripping!

Surprisingly, I spent 3 weeks around Sydney. 3 weeks may seem like a fair time to spend in a city, however there's many places you can go that are just a train or ferry ride away. I spent time in the city centre, Bondi, Manly, Ku Ran Gai Chase National Park and the Blue Mountains. … Continue reading Sydney
During my brief stay in Perth, I spent a night in Fremantle where I visited a prison and ... some penguins. Both p's, but very different p's. A prison may sound like a strange place to visit but the maximum security prison was decommissioned in 1991, 136 years after opening, and is now a UNESCO … Continue reading Prison and Penguins
