Day 62: K’gari / Fraser Island
March 29, 2023 — Yet another later-morning wake-up. Even though we didn’t have to be up early, I have to say that the weather was a great impetus to get out of bed. The sun hit our side of the tents after it rose, and having it beat down on the canvas made it really…

Day 61: K’gari / Fraser Island
March 28, 2023 — I really enjoyed the later mornings here on Fraser. We were all up shortly after seven a.m., but didn’t really have to go anywhere until nine.

Day 60: K’gari / Fraser Island
March 27, 2023 — My alarm went off bright and early at 6:00am and after changing into my swimsuit, shorts, and a t-shirt, I headed to reception to check out, hand off my alcohol, stow my bags, and complete a small amount of extra paperwork. We separated into car groups and said hello to our…

Day 58: Noosa, Australia
March 25, 2023 — This morning I headed out on an excursion to the Noosa Everglades! This is one of the extras that I was able to book because I was no longer snorkelling, and I was really glad that I did because it allowed me to see one of the only two defined Everglades…

March 24, 2023 — I woke up a little later than I planned today but I still had enough time to take a shower, pack, take my stuff downstairs, gather my food, and check out before 10:00am. I had breakfast after I checked out and left my stuff in luggage storage while I went to…

Day 56: Brisbane, Australia
March 23, 2023 — I made it to the Glass House Mountains! Neither Antonia nor Aimee was able to join me but I got up, dressed, and had breakfast, then caught the train just after nine and settled in for the hour and a half journey north. When I got off the train at the…

Day 55: Brisbane, Australia
March 22, 2023 — It’s really difficult to get out of bed when you’ve spent the better part of a week being lazy in an effort to kick a cold. I had another late start this morning, but I was supposed to meet a friend that I made in Melbourne at the Queensland Art Gallery…

Day 54: Brisbane, Australia
March 21, 2023 — I got a bit of a later start on this Tuesday morning but did manage to propel myself out of bed, get dressed, and eat some breakfast. After that, I walked down to the Queen Street Mall and got Starbucks for only the second time since I’ve been in Australia. (I…

Day 53: Brisbane, Australia
March 20, 2023 — My morning started brighter and earlier than those preceding it, and it also started a little more actively. I woke up and did some grocery shopping at the Coles grocery store, conveniently located practically right across the street from my hostel. (Wondering which hostels I’ve been staying in and my thoughts…
