Letters Welcoming Wedding

Brisbane, Nimbin & Byron Bay: Party Pur

Hey guys,

the time of the romantic evening is over! Since Fraser Iceland we have ants in and browse a party place after the other ...;)

The absolute madness: Brisbane . Something like we both have never seen before. We had done to Fraser Iceland, together with the 4 Swiss, and ultimately spent 3 very fun and exciting days (mostly nights!) In Brisbane . The city
ansich not very much to offer, but people are more freaked out. We actually spent a whole evening on our balcony and just run people-watching! Some had sat only looked at (if at all ...), other than just whether they have escaped the hell, others were at an all-Techno Trip with huge bell bottoms and all the trimmings. There were also many gays at the start, had no problem at all to show that (if you know what we mean ...)
One night we had also urge us on the Tanzbuehne Černý is the chance, but that was a lot heavier than we thought. We landed one, in a reggae-shed in which actually no longer really awake and the absolute crash began in the techno-church. Was put up not bad, but the music lies a lot to be desired. Regardless, we mixed our course in the freaky crowd and danced into the early morning hours
.



needed after this weekend we penetrate entwas peace, the Swiss left in the hope they meet again soon and were on our way to the idyllic mountain Nimbin . Everyone knows the name of this place but it is very small. As it turned out, we ended up in a hippie stronghold where a house is more colorful than the other. Everything went very slowly, we met some of Bob Marley's on the way and time, the impressions had to let the last days on us ...











With good humor, we left the nice place and drove back to the beach. Our goal: Byron Bay .
But you have to highlight all the drigend stop in Lismore! We are now the official owner of our Purple's, black on white! Back to Byron Bay
, here's what really going on! There are crowded into the teeming streets of young people surf shops, and kebab stalls Strandkleidungslaeden each other and yet Byron has his own flair. Perhaps that is because that only Nimbin 30 km ...
Since this place is considered the surfing mecca of Australia, in July and tried it twice with their own board (looks for as much as $ 60, you can imagine how the board ...;))
Besides bruises, a scrap sunburn and bad muscle Karter jumped out, unfortunately, not very much, July was not a second with one foot on the board. But do not worry, it will not give up of course!
It is currently Sping Break Time at the coast, which means all high-Cool graduates coming into the area around the learning to reduce stress. Luckily Surfers Paradise is probably more affected by it, but that will probably be a reason for the fact that one encounters here ausschlieslich young people. We were
already here on a very spontaneous and very good beach party and enjoy life to the fullest.

dearest greetings and nice pre-Christmas period, Emigrants

Inebrya Ice Cream Calgary

Fraser, adventure without end

A big hello!

we go on the Atherton Tablelands : kept our enthusiasm is limited.
Although we determined 5 waterfalls in a day got to see, but as you know we have our "Paradise Falls" already found ...;)

One thing must be very clearly lift: Paronella Castle !
the middle of nowhere has a English long ago fulfilled his dream and se ine own landscape created with Schloesschen, love fountain, waterfall, small beautiful paths through se even inen scale jungle, so with all bells and whistles. We stayed there overnight and enjoyed the charm and the pleasant aura.




The next day we visited the Billabong Sanctuary , a very beautiful natural wildlife park where we could see huge crocodiles food. And now it comes: July, intimate Wombat had on his arm! These animals are incredible, they look like gigantic guinea pigs, have large round eyes and are very, very difficult. And especially so soft. To give you an idea, here's the photo:






We could still cute pet koalas and even had a cobra around his neck. Cassowarries there were, but we have seen in the wild. Also something very special because these colorful birds that are very similar to a bouquet, but unfortunately only very rarely are. They are all black, have very beautiful feathers and the head is bright red with little blue and green. Looks great from ...

We were on our way to Airlie Beach, the starting point for the world famous Withsundays Islands. There we wanted to join a sailing trip and are inspired by the white-sand beaches, can but unfortunately, the weather had thwarted plans. The place is famous for its lively atmosphere and the many parties that get there every night. We therefore made a very palatable evening and let the next day the Withsundays behind us. The prices for the Segeltoerns were astronomical, and if that weather is too bad, we would prefer to save us money. Finally, we still come to New Zealand and from there it's not far to the South Seas ...

It was therefore more to Rockhampton, the Beef Capital of Australia. This means that Australia is completely supplied by the meat from Rockhampton and just imagine you'll be on, it's a very rural area, Bayern resembles quite naturally and we felt very comfortable ...
We ate there our (no kidding) good races Steak our life (in Rumpsteck Pepper Souce .. hmmm)! About the limit was, we were allowed in the parking lot of a secluded pubs with our campers are free to that evening and played a one-man blues band in the pub. As I said it was quite remote, we found only Aussies and diehard Cowboys and since it is well known that Australians are the best beer-drinkers in the world, it was also accordingly ...;) All were dancing (and falling every 5 minutes around) and sang until late into the night, and we are both right in the middle! Gaudi was the a!


was in our guidebook that the island of Great Keppel Iceland inferior to the famous Withsundys in nothing and is probably just as nice, but not so besieged by tourists. So we packed our things and went 7 with the ferry for 2 days on the island said. And it was exactly as described in the guide books: miles of beaches that we had for ourselves to (understandable when you think that only about 80 people live on this island). We spent two wonderful, quiet days and could hardly save her from the opossum, the to hundreds of times live on Great Keppel . For the inhabitants of a plague, an exotic for us copy everything in the animal's repertoire.

It went on to Bundaberg . Has anyone heard of the famous Australian rum? In the town has the largest rum Destellerie established and supplied throughout Australia with the proper drop. As most know that Michael is a great rum-lovers and so was the visit with tour and Off course the sample is a must. We were very impressed by the elaborate production cycle and now drink more rum as before there ...;) In Bundaberg it a beach that is famous as an egg-drop place the turtles. Every year, exactly at this time (ie in October are December), the fine turtle come from all over the world, and there lay their eggs. As we learned, are not the little. The women in this period about 4 times to this place and set off incredible 1000 eggs! We waited the whole evening with many other visitors, but unfortunately, the turtle that evening probably too lazy ... we saw none. But instead we were with lots of very interesting information ueberschuettet, for example, that gender depends on the temperature of the sand. If the summer is somewhat colder in a year, thousands of small-Schlidkroeten men are born.



Fraser Iceland, here we come!

Our The starting point was Hervey Bay, where we joined a small Guppe of about 15 people to a Self-Drive Tour . This means we are on our own, no annoying guides who know every stone a story. We have made two (mind you PINK) 4WD cars available, via camping equipment and tents. Then it went off. In our group 3 fun-Ami Girls 2 Hollaender, had some German and Swiss four guys who are all absolute fun guns.
man must know, the island consists only of sand. Some say there are more sand in the Sahara. The roads are of course only sand and the rides are so memorable. A few times we break even still there, but Luckily we had strong men on board, had to push it. But what makes the selling agency.
The rides on the beach neber the sea was quite easy because the sand is pretty hard there, and you drive like on a normal street. But once we went into the island interior, we were well shaken vigorously.
We passed beautiful lakes with crystal clear waters of the To refresh yourself. Since you can not swim in the sea (otherwise there's a small shark and bites off a finger), the lakes we were very popular! Most were surrounded by white sand and dunes, which looked very beautiful course. was

In the evening, grilled, sang and played games like in a scout camp, great atmosphere! As we have seen with the Swiss very well and had fun, we have joined forces and for a while now and travel along with the freaky guys.



The island was a unique experience and we are very happy that we joined this group.

We are now in Brisbane, the largest city in the Sunshine and Gold Coast airports and airspace. Because it is weekend is brutal busy and the city is overshadowed by thousands of young people that are looking for fun and long evenings. We will join the crowd ...;)

Bittte kues st the snow from us and built a little snowman for both of us!

Kind regards and see you soon

Do Nortenos And Crips Get Along

The journey has begun ... First steps


Hi there!

A lot has happened in the past two weeks, especially since we are now mobile and have our own campervan! It was not as easy as we had thought that since some junk boxes were there, but ultimately we have chosen the right
n. We have everything we need: a comfortable bed, fridge, cooking station and a super motor takes us through the hottest tracks ...



The purchase took it 5 whole days and so we were eager to finally end bridges
the right Australia. Our first one is beautiful beaches in the north to Cape Tribulation , the largest continuous rainforest area in Australia. There we had
a campsite all to ourselves alone and were frightened of Dino's and had trouble finding our car in the darkness ...
We experienced the breathtaking Great Barrier Reef a snorkeling gear and the colorful and dazzling corals and fish saw the underwater world.




We also had an adventurous Hiking through the rain forest
, where we played Tarzan and Jane with lianas. In between were always small natural pools for cooling down there. Our dream beach, we have also found: Thornton Beach ! A mile-long, fine sand and palm-strewn beach just for us alone. The bathtub warm sea and the islands made the perfect paradise!


























from moist rain forest we went to the abandoned, dry Outback ! The Freeway led us for hours through desert and the only villages consisted of a gas station and a pub! Our goal
the city Cookstown was where Mr. James Cook entered the first time the mainland of Australia, which turned out to be a secluded village with a population of very special way! See these photos:






















Despite the Einsamkeint there was to do some things, like the magnificent sunrise with 360 degree panoramic view of the bay Cookstown .


An insider tip from Lonely Planet (our guide) led us through dusty and rocky trails to one of the most beautiful spots on earth.

A lonely Outback in crashed into a crystal clear lake that is surrounded by a stone wall. Poodle we felt good and spent the most beautiful hours of our journey so far in this place.






Now we are in Atherton Table land arrived, the first place where it is received back civility to some extent and we also have internet access ...
Here we want to spend a few days and then we go to the East Coast.



We are very happy about your comments and visits and hope you enjoy the site well.




love, sunny greetings to all, and Aubing Osterhofen!

See ya and do not worrie
