Noosa and Fraser Island, from Hervey Bay:D

Hey all!!!:D
Time to fill you all in- I've been having lots and lots of fun, Ofc!:)
So I had a day and a half in noosa, which I actually really enjoyed. Tyne hostel where I stayed was in Noosa Heads, right by the beach, and from there is the national park with the most amazing walks
,!:) I followed the coastline for a few hours then tried to cut back through the rainforest of the national park aha, with an eye out for koalas aha, I did end up getting lost Ofc but I finally made it back to the hostel where I checked in!!:) upon getting t my room I met linn, a lovely swede, who introduced me to the group of people she'd met before aha, such an eclectic mix of wonderful nationalities and people !! We had German, Dutch, Japanese, Swedish and well me I think aha. Anyway these people were lovely, and we were all going to go out however it started pouring it down with rain- and all the bars etc are a good 10 minute walk away in noosa junction! So that didnt happen, but I had a lovely evening with them all anyway:) we all met for breakfast (after I ran down to Peter Pans, like a travel agent, as Anna (one of the Dutch) had to book something) then decided to find the ice cream shop which had been recommended to me aha. We did find it!! But it wasn't open until 12 earliest, and it was 11:15, and a few of us needed to get the bus at 12:15... So what did we do? We all ran off to do important things before meeting for ice cream at 12! Hah, so linn and I decided we had to see the view from Laguna lookout, however the trek up is supposed to take 20 mins each way, and we didnt have that time ahahah. So, we absolutely legged it upwardsgoodness knows how many steps and ramps aha, but it was so worth it, the view was incredible!! But we were boilinggggg as the sun was bright and hot aha, so when we made it back down, the ice cream was perfect:') the company was called nitrogenie, and they make every order of ice cream separately with liquid nitrogen!! It was so cool, and so so good, I think I had chocolate honey comb or something, either which way it was peng:D then I had to run for the bus aha, as Iwas going on this bushcamp. Now I'd heard mixed reviews of is, I'd actually got it for free, I just had to pay 50dollars lil park fees. So I got on the minibus to find 2 lovely Irish guys, Connor and Niall, and we were joined by a Canadian, tash. And guess what, we had an awesome time!! So I bought food with the boys for the days we were there, they took me in as their cook aha, so I paid less for y share and got to cook!! I loved it aha, so the first night we stayed in dorms, which were freezing but fun, then the first day we went on our long canoe. We joined the group before, and canoed 16 km!! I was with Connor and Niall, it was so funny aha, we had the best weather the 2 days, it was so awesome!! We canoed to a creek were some people went on a rope swing, then to the camping ground were we walked to the pub and ate our lunch. We shared a few beer jugs, and it was so hot it was lush!! We were all just sunbathing:D then we canoed back, I made dinner, we played pool, watched a few films I think. Ooooooh I'm missing out the first day!! We got there late afternoon, and the wonderful Dutch guy, mattius, who was also in our group had been waiting around all day. And so we walked to this abandoned quarry, which are like lakes, full of the bluest water, now!! O mattius and I jumped in, and tash got the BEST pic, literally, so going as my cover photo when it's on Facebook!:) anyway so yeah, the third day the Irish boys left, and we were with the new group so I went in a canoe with mattius and tash. Even though this day was shorter, there was a horrible wind so it took forever to get to our destination!! nyway we walked to. Beach, and even though it was windy it was still lush to doze for a few hours before getting back in the boats. I also had a peppermint magnum, getting a little bit too addicted to those ice creams ahaha!! Anyway then another night in the tent, before the minibus back to noosa in the morning. We had a few hours to kill before our buses to we hit the cafe again aha, lush muffins, yes please!:) 
Anyway then I got the greyhound to rainbow beach, for just the one night. Lots of people go to Fraser from there instead of Hervey Bay, but I'm so glad I came just for the one night. Met some awesome people, in including Barry and Anna who I'd met in noosa!!:) also northern Ireland's Owen, and a whole load of people including some from the bushcaMP!!:) the beach there was amazing, I'm really annoyed i missed e sunset :( I was shopping with Barry and Anna aha but either which way. So glad I stopped off:) for the next day, I was off to Hervey Bay!! I got the hostel and found out that a small group of nine of us were to be setting off for Fraser Island in the morning:D we Ll wen shopping, and bought food for barbecues ahaha practically whilst we were away!!:D I can't really describe how awesome Fraser Island is, really, so incredible. The weather was cloudy but that didnt take away from the wonder of the places we visited, all the lakes we swam in were so so so lush!! And we had such an awesome group of us, and an awesome tour guide, the only thing was I couldn't drive:( I've discovered I have an absolute love for 4x4s, I just want to drive them!! They're so big and manly and cool, pahah so yeah Fraser Island was legendary. The first night there wasn't a cloud in the sky nd we were camping. And the stars were actually awesome ... The Milky Way, so clear!! So incredible!! We stayed in rooms in a 'resort' the second night, it was nice to have a shower Aha. We also saw a wild dingo!! Woop de woop, aha there are warning signs everywhere about not feeding em and stuff etc, and it was so lovely to actually see one as we drove by:D they literally just look like dogs. Kind of.:) 
Anyway aha. This writing is getting tiring. We got the barge back to the bay then settled back to e hostel, went shopping even though I have so muc food, watched the great Australian bake off which is NO WHERE near as good as the original and ours aha, then slept. As my greyhound today wasn until 5, I just chilled with Lisa and Tanya, 2 Germans who were on my Fraser trip, it was so chill, we just sunbathed all day aha. The beach, again, there was amazing, the sun so hot, ahaha .... So so peng. I'm now on my way to Agnes water, were I'm at for 2 nights before I get e night bus to airlie beach for my whitsundays sail. Looking forward to chilling out a bit!! But I'm tired now I've been writing all this in the dark, ahahah. 

Anyway. Once again, If you read all this, congratulations. Ill try Skype you soon:D
Big love, and hugs, and blessings:)
