I will be setting off on a 4 hour coach journey to Hervey Bay. If you look on a map, you'll see that Maroochydore and Hervey Bay are practically next door to each other, and yet a 4 hour journey? That's like driving to Scotland from my house.
So, Hervey Bay. The Gateway to Fraser Island.
I'm going to work in a backpacker hostel for 2 weeks, which hopefully will mean meeting lots of exciting backpackers, and also getting discounted trips to Fraser :) but it's not excedingly popular for its own attractions.
The moment I had arranged this, I received an email from the Heron Island Research Station, who have a space for a volunteer from the 11th to the 18th January and would I still be interested? - Why, yes! Thank you for letting me know so soon!
Heron Island is one of the Great Barrier Reef islands slightly north of the Tropic of Capricorn, and somewhere I would really love to go and spend some time. Hopefully they'll book me in for later in the year...
But for now, the sun is out again and it looks like I'll be spending a relaxing couple of weeks a bit further up the coast, before returning to Brisbane airport to fly over to New Zealand to spend a not so relaxing but brilliant month.
Hope you are all well,
Em x
