When we woke up this morning we figured that as long as the storm had definitely passed, then there would be a good chance we'd be going to Fraser Island at some point this week - so we thought it would be a good idea to book the hostel a day at a time. Just before 10am we booked in for tonight and then went to the phone-box to ring Kookaburras... It was good news - the Fraser Island trips were back on - and we could go tomorrow... yippee!
Happy with the good news, we had some breakfast and then got our things together (towel, book, iPod, suncream etc), and hit the beach. It was absolutely boiling on the beach and there wasn't a cloud in the sky. We spent a couple of hours sunbathing and reading and then came back to the hostel.
This afternoon we went out for a walk and found a shopping centre, so we went in for a look around and bought some things for our camping trip... sweets! Nikki found a really cool Billabong visor - so she bought that too (the birthday money is ALMOST gone).
We came back to our hostel to drop off our shopping and had to immediately turn round because we had to be at Kookaburras for a Fraser Island safety briefing - on things to be aware of on the island, which was at 6pm. We got there in plenty of time and had our meeting - plus we got to meet the other 9 people would be in our 4x4 (there were 3 4x4's in total - and 32 people). When the meeting was finally over, we walked back to our new hostel and Nikki cooked us pasta for our tea. All the other travelers were having some sort of pasta, but none of them had the same dessert as us... strawberries and cream - and I could tell they were jealous. By now is was about 10pm, so we watched a bit of the 40 Year Old Virgin with another girl and then came to our room to pack.
Finally, we're going to Fraser Island tomorrow... unless we're hit by another storm!
