After some pretty extensive organization and trawling through a library of information i have managed to set my self some kind of plan for as far as Brisbane. I leave tomorrow for Airlie beach where after a nights sleep im hopping on a 15m sailing boat to tour around the Whitsunday islands for 2 days. Back on a bus and down to Rainbow beach, where i'll spend christmas, and then out to Fraiser island for 3 days. With a tent, stove and a 4WD jeep at our disposal we (people i haven't yet met) will tour the national park before returning to the mainland in time for new year at Noosa. From there I'll hit Brisbane, and worry about the next leg of the journey. Australia, it would seem, is hell of a lot bigger than it looks on a map.
