Wow...did the last 12 months take forever!

So I decided in July 2010 that I would take a year off and travel Australia, backpacking style.

I dont know where to start... so many places to see. I am looking forward to meeting some other backpackers and getting some tips about what to see and do. I may even find the time to play up a little too!

I arrived 2 days ago and have decided to record my journey as a blog, hopefully that will help other backpackers travelling in Australia.

So I purchase a Greyhound Mini-traveller pass $261 that will get me all the way from Brisbane to Cairns, hopping on and off as often as I like. I have done and seen so much in the last few days but cannot stop myself from telling you what I did yesterday!

I took a tour to the Great Barrier Reef which parked on an outer reef pontoon for the day. A slight self induced headache made the early wake-up a little difficult but once I got on the boat I had an unforgettable time. I decided to do the introductory scuba dive and now I cannot wait to get to Cairns because I have decided to stay a few days and do my open diving course.
