Travelogues Queensland

05.06 - 10.05 Oh how nice it is to be back here! Although I must admit that I liked you better last time Noosa. But that is probably not your fault, but rather the bad weather...

We met two nice Dutch girls on the Fraser Islands who are currently accompanying us on our trip, which is pretty cool is. The last few days we mainly spent driving a car. After...

The last 2 days we spent on Fraser Island - an island made entirely of sand, where there are no roads or anything else (as we know it). We did this with a tour that provides 4x4...

Moreton Island is a sand island, just like Fraser Island.

Finally, the sun was shining beautifully this morning, which was a welcome contrast to the cloudy weather of the last 2 days. After a delicious breakfast, which even included...

Today we had to get up early and after cutting some fruit into yoghurt because our new hostel - Reef Backpackers - doesn't include breakfast, we stood in front of the meeting...

Today we were at the backpacker travel office at 10:30, waiting for Terry and curious to see who else would join us. In the end, it was an Asian buddy of Terry's, who was really...

Today we only have a relatively short distance ahead of us, about 170 km. The weather is partly sunny, partly cloudy and it is between 25 and 28°C. Last night, cute possums...

A trip to Australia would not be complete without a visit to the Great Barrier Reef. So we explored the underwater world from Green Island.

Today we spent the day on the couch. It was too sunny, windy and warm outside, so we didn't feel like going to the rainforest. Of course, we wanted to, but we only got our...

To overcome jet lag, it was important to stay awake! So after checking in at Northern Greenhouse (highly recommended!), I headed towards the beach. Unfortunately, the lagoon was...

We have finally made the first kilometers towards the south. Our target destination was Townsville, which is 350 kilometers away. On the way there, we followed recommendations...

In Brisbane we originally booked accommodation through Airbnb for 2 nights. But since we liked the city so much, we extended our stay for another night. Before returning the...

Finally, the day has come we see the Great Barrier Reef 🎉😊. We booked an Open Water dive course with Pro Dive in Cairns. This means that after this course we are allowed to...

As mentioned before, we chose the 3-day Whitsundays Trip Ride to Paradise because we didn't have to stay on the boat. On the first day, we were taken to the resort by speedboat,...

On the way to Airlie Beach, where our trip to the Whitsundays starts, we made the first stop in Hervey Bay. Our Sunlodge Tourist Park campsite had something to offer that we had...

We booked a 3-day trip with Get Along Tours on Fraser Island, the largest sand island in the world. The program included driving with a 4x4 vehicle, various excursions on the...

We spent the first two nights in Brisbane for Rahel to overcome jet lag. We were already warned that it is not the most charming city. That was also our impression. Many...

We were picked up early in the morning at our campsite and taken to the harbor in Hervey Bay. Then it was time to take the ferry to Fraser Island, the largest sandbank in the...

Stopover in the Wetlands in Atherton

When we wake up, it is pouring rain. We had planned to continue to Cape Tribulation in the rainforest today, but is it even worth it in this weather? Probably not. We have...

Even the next morning we don't give up hope and set out on the search for platypuses again. Nothing again... We get in the car and drive to Mareeba. Here we upload the...

After uploading blog entries in the morning, we jump in the car and drive north along the coast. The sun is scorching hot, so the nearly 7-hour drive is accompanied by constant...

Today, hairstyle and co didn't matter at all (we still looked great - at least until we sat on the beach or were in the water): we went to the beach and nowhere else (no...

Today we had time to visit the National Park in Noosa and it was definitely worth it. The park is located right on Sunshine beach and is huge. Unfortunately,...

Today, breakfast was served at the hotel, including hot dishes like beans in tomato sauce, bacon, sausages, rice, mushrooms, eggs in all varieties, and of course, small pancakes,...

Now we know how the glowworms shine in Australia! Yesterday at 8 PM, we ventured into the pitch-black forest with two vans. Before that, all participants were equipped with red...

Before we could start the city trip, we first took the camper to the landlord's station. Since the domestic water tank was still leaking and we had planned two stops in national...
