After Nimbin my sis and I travelled to the Minjon waterfalls. On the way were some beautiful valley views! Amazing people just live there! At the waterfall of 100m high I needed to chill on the edge again offcourse:p great view again! Then, we went to Tweed Heads so I could get a roadworty (car check) for my car. It seemed my car was not in excellent conditions bcause the fuel tank was tight up with tie rips and tape! Had to pay 500 dollars, but at least I am save:/ Now it was time to say goodbye to Suus again after some really nice days. Dropped Suus at her lovely hotel and went to Brisbane!
Meeted up with a German guy Lukas who was travelling by himself too. We parked our cars at a nice 'camping' spot and went to the river in the city to have a drink with a wonderfull skyline. Next day I had an appointment with a girl who wanted to be a travelmate and she arranged a group meeting so we were with 5 suddenly:p They needed to decide what they wanted and me and Lukas went to Stradbroke Island (Straddie) to find some dolphins, kangeroos and/or koala's!
We went with the ferry to Straddie and we hitch hiked further on the island. Got a lift from some nice asians who brought us to a place where we could see dolphins they promised. And yes! After some time they came really next to the pier it was awesome! I even give one dolphin some prawn part and pet him, really cool! Next day we went for a walk to find some koala's but we only saw kangeroos. Also really fun, they have really big muscles haha. Later on we went back to mainland and stayed one omre day in brisbane because the weather was terrible!
Our next stop was Noosa and on the road we did a stop at the glass house mountians. We climbed 2 of them which was really nice! The first one was only for experienced climbers so we gave it a try! It was really steep and after some struggeling we sat down half way to have lunch and enjoy the view. It was a little bit tricky so we were fine this high:p Arrived in Noosa, we slept in our cars again and had to wake up early (7 am) to avoid that rangers would send us away. We were just on time because they drove around when we were leaving:p We started a walk to find koala's again! After some time when we almost gave up, there he was! A cute little bear chilling in a tree on the beach! It was so cuteeee! Later he jumped out of the tree and was walking around to find another tree, this was what we were looking for! Really nice:) In the evening we went to another sleeping spot to meet up with Charly and Savannah who we met in brisbane at the 'travelmate meeting'. Charly has a really nice 4wd and we could join him to Fraser Island!
So the next they we went to the greatest sandbank in the world where you only drive on sand. Thats why you need a 4wd! Lukas and I parked our cars and we went to the ferry. The first moments driving on the beach during the sunset was awesome! Its really different and humpy but fun! We went to a camping spot and set up our tents and had a good but cold night. Next day we went to lake Mckenzy which was so beautiful! White sand and blue water, only not that warm so swimming was quite cold haha. Drove further on the beach to see a WOI shipwreck and we camped on the beach! Really nice to do, unfortunately the airbed got a leak so the nights were not that comfortable anymore:( We took a look at the champagne pools but it was so cold and rainy we decided to go to the west and try the day after again. On the west side we were the only ones who were camping! Had a nice sunset but the night was sooo cold! We didnt slept that well:( The next day it was much nicer at the champagne pools, but still swimming was to cold so we just went half way hihi. For our last night we drove back on the beach and I did a part as well! Really funny to drive on sand because you slip all the time:p The last day we were chilling and sleeping at some nice lakes and tried to get some tanning:p When we were back on mainland we went to a pub were you could see pictures of 4wd's who'd crashed! Really funny and glad we made it:p It was a really nice trip!
The next day we arrived in Hervey bay. Charly, Savannah and Lukas went further up north and I am staying in Hervey bay some more days now to wait for travel mates. Probably I am leaving tomorrow with a girl from Luxembourg! After 3 times an empty batterie of my car, it seemed I needed to get a new one:( Another 150 dollars, horray! Now I will just chill, my wash is in the machine so get everything cleanded up again! Sorry if my English is not excellent:p
