Surfer's and beyond!

Wow, it has been way too long since we wrote in this. Since surfer's quite a lot has happened. We went to Brisbane for a day and stayed with some Canadian girls that we met in our long overdone stay in Nimbin. They were really nice and their appartment was amazing. a HUGEEEEEEEE balcony and white leather couches and a nice plasma screen t.v. Needless to say it was a nice night's sleep after many a night in elvis deluxe (our campervan). We also went on the XXXX (fourex) brewery tour when we were in Brisbane and suggest that anyone who visits there does it. It was fun and only 18$, the best part of it being that at the end you get four free beers.
We left early the next morning to head to Rainbow beach (the backpacker;s shortcut to Fraser Island). There we met up again with our good friends Niall and Michelle to do out 3 day 2 night excursion to Fraser Island. We got there and were put into groupds of 11. We seem to have been stuck with the dud group as we were with 6 un excited 18 years olds... however we made the best of the situation and we were off. The first day the weather was a bit shit, but it was still amazing to see Fraser. It is the largest sand Island in the world and one of the only places where rainforest grows right from the sand. Also, it holds half of the world's perched lakes, some of themost pristine fresh water lakes around. The cars that we rented were huge 4x4 Landcruiser's. You can only drive 4x4s on the island, and in some plceas going even 5kms/hr is too fast! It was a riot! Even I drove. The first day we saw Lake MacKenzie and the Shipwreck and then settled our camp for the night. We were annoyed with our group and luckily the 5 other trucks came and set up tent in the same spot as us.... After a beautiful sunset a raging party started and it was amaizng. we met some Canadians and a shit load more Irish people and partied the night away.
The next day we were up bright and early and the weather was GORGEOUS!! such a nice change form the day before. Our group decided that we would go back to Lake MacKenzie on a nice day after we saw Indian Head and the Champagne Pools. Lake MacKenzie was even more spectacular the second time around with the sun shining! Again after a full day we stopped outside of Eli Creek and set up camp with the other 5 trucks (63 people in total) and partied hard.
The final day we went to Lake Wobby... a nice little lake in the middle of huge sand dunes. it toook about 30 minutes to walk there throught the massive sand dunes... but it was really worth it to dive into another amamzing fresh water lake.

WE headed back to rainbow beach and the next day we were off to head up the coast.... however we realized that our wallet was missing (i.e. I lost it in Rainbow Beach) once we were about 1.5 hours away. We called the station where i remember last using it, and they had not seen it. Needless to say I FREAKED out, and we had to cancel all of our cards and report it lost/stolen (I was convinced it was stolen). Anyways after 3 days and a shitload of hassle, it turns out that it fell out of the car when we stopped to ask for directions, and the lady at the gas station found it. She somehow figured out that We had rented a Wicked campervan, and they contacted us with the number of the gas stationa nd the lady's contact, so we should get everything back....

After realizing that we lost the wallet, we went up to Tonsville through a little town called 1770, really beautiful with a grea motorbike tour.

Now we are on Magnetic Island and it is amaizng. we rented a Moke (the traditional way to get around the Island) and are having an amazing time. I'll try and add photo's sooooon!!! Love you all xoxoxo
