Touring on Fraser Iceland

From unforgettable Fraser Trip on the roads heading north.
So yesterday evening about 6 o'clock in the evening we checked back at the hostel and have the evening with a large part of the group and an all you can eat pizza buffet fade . Let
But first started all over again. Was at 1.28 in the morning at half past 8, the Fraser Iceland
meeting, as we have been informed of all relevant information for the next 3 days. Overall, we were
19Leute, 7 German, 2 Austrians, one Swiss, two French, two Welsh, two Dutch, two Swedish, and all were distributed on 2 jeeps.
As drivers of the jeeps must be 21 years of his ale, and thus were in my group only
Frank, Frank (a German) and I insured as a driver.
I was then classified as 'nominated driver' and was allowed to drive directly from the hostel as the first Jeep to the workshop, where we get our complete Campinggear we as good as possible have stowed in the attic. Each of the
wanted on the island drove well, but mostly I'm gone. My luck :-)
So we went from the workshop with a map and a rough plan where we should be when any supervisor without going to the ferry dock. In the island it was coming for about 1km paved road, but from then it started off with it properly!
wheel drive in and let air out of the tires!
All were in a Jeep, well, despite slower speeds, because of half a meter deep holes shaken
:-) The first stop Lake Wabby was on the program, so we have through the forest of the west coast to Lake Wabby, which almost the east coast is punctured.
who had arrived half saw a lake surrounded by forest and the other half was an incredible big sand dune! This was super steep and the water was under one meter
already too much standing around zui. Crying out for the curious types of movement down the dune into the water :-) sideways rolls, forward rolls, or just race. Here are
us, however, some annoying noticed the large flies have bitten us ..

shot after a few photos and a dip in the water, we went to our camp spot, we should reach as possible before 5 am, as you, no more should go to the beach as the waves too high be.

arrived in the area, we have a small tree, open space in the woods, but looking directly at the beach that was just big enough for 6 tents and 2 jeeps. While we prepared our BBQ and have set up the tents, we are again the stupid flying has been on my nerves ..
These are gone, however, sleep early and as we could but still sit relaxed on a plane together and talk or celebrate a silent party on the beach.
To define our Silent Party: Everyone listens to his Ipod music and goes off! If you want to talk, take the plugs .. lusitg version was great!
could go swimming in the sea can not, unfortunately, because stingrays at the island of rum, deadly Jellyfish and sharks hanging.

The next morning we got up at 8am and have had millions of flies around us! That was disgusting. Most of us did not even have warm clothes to protect yourself. So for breakfast, a tent and give car has always been the hardest day! You could not even 5 seconds are still to be engraved without. As we have

then packed it all still went to the beach towards Indian Head, a vantage point about 30 meters high cliffs, from which one could see at the right time, whales, dolphins, turtles and rays. We were not so lucky and unfortunately have 'seen nur'Rochen, but the view was still . Wahnsinn

On the way we have still directly from a shipwreck on the beach stopped and snapped some photos. Already interesting.

After Indian Head we went to the so-called 'champagne Pool', a pool of only stone is separated from the ocean and is always filled by large waves.

the same way on the beach they went back to 3:30 for a camp spot right on the beach, near a creek where you could cool off yet. So at Camp
spot one must understand a lawn area that is marked by sticks in the ground, but no showers or toilets anything else.
pasta cooked and waited for the flies go to sleep. Then on the beach eaten and later still conjured a fire and especially with people from the other group babble.

morning again the same theater with the flies and the program was' back nur'Lake Mackenzie and to the pier. Lake Mackenzie, however, is a paradise from which you want to leave eigenltich wants. Incredibly bright blue water and fine white sand beach! Even without tickets ;-)
Look at most of the pictures! A dream.

Back to the workshop, quickly cleaned up everything and then to the hostel and ate the aforementioned pizza.
summarized So a cool tour, despite flying, because that we had the best weather!

Today is Leon's birthday, so we had a more balanced birthday breakfast, while we all looked at pictures from Fraser again .. Now we have
connect to 3 days to Airlie Beach, Whitsunday Sailing unexpected turn towards. As a first stop, we have 'picked out Town of 1770s' where we try to celebrate Leon's birthday.

soon

Brisbane and canoe trip in Noosa

I'm doing wunderbest still! I unfortunately my personal mountain on 16th January missed as it is now my return flight. I will be on Thursday morning 24 June in Bremen drifting. Otherwise, everything here is

still great. After Brisbane we went straight to Gagaju Bush Camp in Noosa.
This is located in the forest next to a river. There are lots of tents, some kind of booths, an open kitchen and a fireplace! Lusitg was also clean the sink your teeth and etc., built into a tree stump. In the camp groups come every day to the 18 people who go together two days canoeing. On 1 Day we drove 1h and 30min to the beach 2km away. Unfortunately it was against the flow, but it was pretty easy because I was with Leon and an English girl in the boat. Frank was with two other German girls in the boat and had to fight some more:-D We spent the day in the pub with cold beer and the beach, but some plates on the Great Jellyfish were, on one never knows whether they are dangerous or not. Before sunset we went back against the flow (because its origin is low or high tide always changes) back to the camp. Leon arrived in the camp, an Englishman and I have our car to the bottle shop to replenish the alcohol stock. This 10-minute trip but was actually the 3rd horror trip. First, Leon had no ID with the first bottle shop and so I was allowed to buy anything. So on the second to find one. After a few turns, uncontrolled, we have found one,
was small, however, and has not sold what we are looking for ... So on the 3rd Bottle Shop. Then our car was, however, no Tired and no longer jumped on him then .. We wanted to take a break and have made us walk to the nearest bottle shop. However, the car sounded like the shopping is not always better .. When we started to get water to cool the engine .. without success. Then we have filled our jerry cans of gasoline .. without success. The last thing we thought that it is accordingly to the battery and we have another car sought to bridge our .. with success! Let's go back to the woods to camp, we had to all the theater not forgotten the way back .. so we are again rumgeeiert 45minutes to the road into the forest to find. In the evening we played skat, drinking wine and talked with other people.

The next morning we went to the 2nd Canoe trip. The program was a 7km paddle route back to a pub and 7km. Problem that was the most 3 canoes of the other group were taken and we had to switch to 3 of 3 canoes and 3 of 2 canoes. This time, Leon and Frank and I were in a 2-on with the English girl from the first day of 2 also. In the beginning, hung behind the 2 canoe's always a little bit, but when it
from the river to the open sea, too, from which came the waves in the river, is the 3rd 2 person canoe and mine greased total. We have always been driven to the bank against trees and rocks. As I sat with the girl in the canoe, I had also a Paddling bit more and have come quite out of breath! Despite all this, one is in between every now and jumped from his canoe into the water to cool off. :)
was in the lake, the water knee-Hipster, so you could walk to the need and has its Oberschnenkeln also going to run a workout. Back it went with a relaxed puzzle rounds with the flow to the camp. Again in the evening met new people and made a big bonfire.

have this morning, we packed everything into the car to and from and against 12, we were happy that the car leapt at the gate to Hervey Bay Fraser Iceland go to where I am now sitting in the hostel. Tomorrow morning's briefing and then it'll go! So
up in 3 days

ski season opens in Diemtigtal

every year ... for many of the ski season begins with the ski weekend of the ski area. Meanwhile, for the fourth time, is made a part of the group again on the way to see old friends and meet new like minded people. Once we were lost last year to Austria, was now back in Switzerland, the Diemtigtal. After the avalanche there for two weeks before many of us joined the Drümännler as the summit first. But even so we could Diemtigtal still maintain good for two, three or four days after all how much time we had, that attracted 35 going people.
The first groups started on Friday morning in the morning to the wonderful weather and avalanche conditions favorable, we had a double advantage. Two groups from London and a group from Munich, then made their way towards Rauflihorn. After we parked the car in the parking lot from the hotel Spillgerten and after a discussion with the bus driver how much space it needs for business, we were able to get on track. Along the Senggibachs we could only a little getting used to the Proceed with skis before it went up slowly through the forest. One could really wonderful sight was the moment when one of the forest in the sun came over the white wall and a lonely pasture overlooking the rock wall of the Rothorn. It was warmer and warmer and we met at the summit, Ansgar, Hansi, Rainer and Anja back to the group Marco, Ulrike, Jochem and Richard. Shortly thereafter came even Ansa and Benno and we enjoyed a wonderful run. It lured the gorgeous snow one or the other a bit further to drive to the Czech Beaver Valley. For such a perfect couple they will just take turns sometimes an extra rise in sales.
Another Friday morning group with Chris, Stefan and Armin was quite hang on the start of the valley and decided to Mäggiserehore in the hope of perhaps can attach a summit. But even with a summit and, moreover, up there in January with the T-shirt they could be fully satisfied.
up new prospects Emanuel brought his two colleagues and with their snowboards, which summarily Birte still followed with the board. Together they made the gymnastics all conditions with its western slopes on the descent was already getting green.
After all for a cheese fondue with lumps in the abdomen to the comfortable part of the evening went, wobbled by little cars from Karlsruhe with, Bernahrd, Uta K, Erik, Heike, Alex, Dorothy, Peter, Walter, Martin, Thomas, Uta P., Karsten, Dieter by train and even Ingo. The next morning, then came to also Gerd and Tobias and so we were finally complete.
began the next day as the previous had left off: in bright sunshine and avalanche two, and so a large group made their way to Rauflihorn and used again the beautiful snow there. The others went towards Männlieflue and Galmschiebe, so that initially a real herd mentality of Fildrich the valley went up. On steep Bode then parted our ways.
For a while we could enjoy the sun, it became really warm, even if so slow clouds taunted. Our trail was someone very motivated set into the hillside so steep that it was going up. But then the way was not so far and soon we had to unfasten the ski then, because the slope was so blown off. This went on foot and the last few meters above the ridge to the summit. By now it was then drawn, however, so it was no sun to see more.
The first few meters departure were still a real pleasure, then the group split again, to rise again, taking the exit of the rise and along the direct route back to the car.
Still everyone was happy until the next morning, then quietly let drop in front of him. Ski walk in the rain just is not really sure what you need. And after the group photo was thoroughly in the rain, we decided only once for a second breakfast.
about ten clock it was then slowly getting better, because the first had already decided to return, most of which went the other direction Mariana Hubel. Meanwhile, it was snowing and when we came out of the rain-soaked snow in the frozen, were allowed to bother the most, first with beautiful fur stoll border. Thanks to wax it but soon went further with it started to wind right from the pasture. But that was ok, until we at 2000m so slowly approached the clouds and the wind was getting worse. Since was it really the fun is over and we went on through the crud back down.
Most then went back to Karlsruhe, a small part remained there to enjoy sun and snow again on Monday and get on the Wiriehorn. Overall, we
had another amazing weekend, with very changeable weather and snow conditions, but with lots of nice people.

Diamond Heads to Brisbane

go on like this ..
So after we have camped in Dimomands Head together with the Kangaroos one night, we go early in the morning on a hiking trail to visit in the surroundings and view points. The 8km long (sometimes running ..:-)) route passes through the forest and the cliffs of the ocean. All this of course still with my true quality € 2.50 New York's flip flops.
we've seen next to beautiful views Goannas (weird black and yellow lizard), kangaroos, spiders, dolphins, and a funny brown slither animal, which was afraid of us. Then go back to our car, we went to Port Macquarie at the port to drink a draft Erdinger wheat beer (Leon and Frank). I had a better-tasting Carlton Draught! In the city, we still looked endless Travelers and residents painted stones, which are located on the banks of the entire city and Breakwall'bezeichnet as' will. For the night we drove 60 km on a highway sleeper, which we have just spent the night and morning, right on Highway through Coffs Harbour to Wollongong. There we cooked noodles in the beach park and the very best, we have found a public outlet! So it set about to charge any electronic devices and about 5h in sea bathing, reading, sunbathing and write blog to spend.

After another night at a rest stop somewhere in Grafton, we finally arrived in the city of Byron Bay Backpacker Party.
Paradis for every backpacker! Schnuckeliges small town with a few thousand inhabitants and an equal number of backpackers. This, of course, the nightlife is marked accordingly and during the day, all users who are one of the many beaches! Where you also can stop the entire night on the beach and with people Nationailtät differentiation also has a conversation.

Using the information center, we have opted for a campsite outside of Byron and booked for 2 nights. This was huge, but almost nothing of it was that we los.Gut electricity, hot water, clean toilets had 15dollar for the night. But we wanted to get to know people and what to do, so we moved to the opposite camp, the Jan (who we met in Byron) has recommended to us. The place was small, but full of backpackers and even a closed kitchen!
evening we sometimes set to Jan's round camping and met a lot of really cool people with whom we have together to Byron visited a water hole! But more on that later ..

Meanwhile, Frank and Leon have borrowed for 2 days a surfboard and wetsuits, which I am also one or the other could pass times. We chose an almost deserted beach and along the lines of learning by doing just loose-. When I updated the first time caught a wave right, I'm lying there and I have only ridden the wave eifnach to get used to the feel. In the endless crashes in which one can only be glad the board is strapped to his ankle, habeich me then raised further and further until I even for a few incredible seconds was :-)
With the strenuous while surfing the swim back after a ridden wave when the waves all the time a slap in history .. but it was absolutely awesome !
Alternatively, You can also use his own body as a board and ride the wave ("body surf") .. also what brings a lot of fun!
most impressed and I would like to learn, however, is the super kite! The kite in the bay I could just watch hours.

Another experience was the visit at Wicked .. a Travel Agency, backpackers Tourn, Safari and nights .. actually everything for backpackers sold. We are here together reingestiefelt, with the aim of the price of a Fraser Iceland and Whitsunday sailing experience. Previously, we have sworn to book us anything as we are to compare the prices with the 5 others, the Agency's right next to each other .. Then, we are bombarded with information and when we find the appropriate price and we thought we compare to now go to the other, it went off .. "What can we do that you book it now?" total beginner in negotiating in English vs. trained personnel. After a long conversation, but I think we have brought out a good offer.
And although we now have a 3-day canoe trip in Noosa in vain to get benefits and some hostel next in our cities. Together with 3 day self drive 4wd safari tour on Fraser Iceland and 3-day sailing trip to Whitsundays.
But we actually wanted to book anything:-D

Another day in Byron have We march out to do from our campsite to the easternmost point in Australia, where I a few months ago together with Pascal and Christian was so schonmal. However, this is a march from one side of the city to the completely different .. On the way we run 2 hours on the beach and every now and then a cool bath and put back .. then 2 hours through the city
arrived at the lighthouse and most easterly point, we first inserted a short break and of course photos shot.

went after 4 nights at the "new" camping it up with Jan, Daniel, Simon, Lisa and Juian to absolute stoner town Nimbin and even better the nearby water hole that I mentioned have. Ah .. but before we leave in the morning are Byron, Leon and I spontaneously even in purely Peterpans Agency, which is one of the competitors from Wicked Travel, and have let us know via a 5 day diving course. We already had an offer from Wicked and so we asked for a better offer. So it happened that we have now booked our diving course in the bag. 5 days diving on the Great Barrier Reef, including a night dive! This can only be the hammer!

You have you a 10 meters deep, circular, half surrounded with cliffs and present filled with water hole, which is located in the rain forest! The best thing you can take anywhere from anywhere, really jump into the water. It starts with 2-3 meter high cliffs where we were sitting in our lap.
On we go with a 7 meters high point to which you can walk. The absolute highlight was the highest point of about 12m to where you climb up a tree and needs. At the top you will find a rope that is attached to an even higher tree and hangs straight down. With the help of a small rope that is attached to the large, you get access to it.
Now you have only still a la Tarzan with the rope swing over the water and release it right over the water hole. The need to overcome some power! But after the first time without great pain it easier already. The biggest for me was overcome, however, a Köpper of the 7-meter spot, but what followed was an amazing feeling!
After all have jumped at least once, and after a photo / video session, we have made the trip to Surfers Paradise. On board we had Lisa to Bezinkosten to share even more.

Surfers is a city again with a few skyscrapers to the sea. A disadvantage is schonmal that one, if you fall asleep on the beach in the beautiful sun fast times falls into the shadow of skyscrapers and one is cold suddenly, even in Australia:-P Since we are only 2 nights in Surfers, we have chosen a kind of pub crawl "Big day out" to make way for 30dollar, when we rocked in a group of about 200 backpackers to and nac 4 clubs and got one free drink.
are
Last night we arrived in Brisbane and have really just cooked and still went to bed. Yesterday we were lazy again, so there was "only" pasta with tomato sauce (including corn and garlic). Oh, and here in the hostel's free and fast W-lan for all guests. Now I am just got up and got it used for now. Today we will take a city walk, although I have spent so schonmal 2 weeks.

I look forward each day on our tours, which start in 4 days! Maybe I have to show during which no Internet to blog and pictures, but that it hails then the only way it :-)
Sunny greetings anticipation

sign of life

Hi,
already have a bad conscience for not having me as long as reported . So where do I start best?
Ahja my New Year's Eve in Sydney. So I have with my old hostel, my two boys and the 3 car Germans celebrated from Childers most part! We are against
15h walked to a meadow of the free, we look at the bridge had. This was a little further away, but BYO! As we lay in the sun .. play football or go swimming and drinking of course ;) Was
At midnight the first-class fireworks and then we continued in various clubs. So all in all a New Year's sharp!

On 2 January I had my last day of work at Freedom, where I said goodbye to everybody and have donated Donouts:)
As a parting gift I got my positive work references and a book.

Then Leon, Frank and I have done for my car organizational entry and I have packed the day after and after my things.

On 5 January it was ready! After a Abschiedsbarbeque with my family at the 'Villa' to Frank Leon and I moved into the car, which of course seen as
rise! On same day began our road trip with the leave of Sydney! After 3 months of wonderful city life, it was still nice to come out
.

The car:
Ford Falcon Combi
406990km
Year: 95
6 cylinder 4L Capacity
dark green (if there even is clean)
automatic

Our first stop was a camp site close to Newcastle where we arrived in the evening . Since then we have eaten, launching the car. The next morning early
going on, so we do not get caught and pay the rangers we have to:)

So we went further north to Seal Rocks, where I went there we more or less safe have. Well that is 2-3 times I've wanted to drive down the wrong track, or just to operate the windshield wipers instead of flashing .. But you get used to it! I am glad that I did not want to's of course have to take care of links.
Back to Seal Rocks, a 1 a campsite on the beach in the bay. There has
us so much that we stayed 2 nights straight. Since then, we were once on the beach or walked to a nearby lighthouse, from where we had a beautiful view of the land, the beaches or just out to sea. get up
which we were so excited that we decided spontaneously the next morning at 4:45 at the sunrise from the lighthouse to behold. We were roommates the other camping said the sunrise was at 5:50 am, but when we realized at 5am that the sky is already red is, we are a little broken out in rush. So I quickly jumped into the car 2km with very limited visibility (because it was all steamed up ...) went to the lighthouse parking lot. From there, it would be "only" was still a 3km walk, the sky would not have been so red .. So the walk was a sprint .. with Flip Flops arrived at the lighthouse, we then still waiting for 20minutes until the sun emerges from the sea. The effort was worth more than! Back then we ran relaxed and we and we are still a dingo ;-) met

then scour the beaches we went further north. Every now and then and paused briefly jumped into the cool water or just playing Frisbee on the stand. After that we went on towards campsite in Diomande Heads. Along the way, we have used one of the endless public Barbequeplätzen
the water and have cooked meat and bread delicious.
as the target we had a camp a little inland placed near a national park. The way there was, however, a 4WD safari tour of a mountain and through a jungle. Well we do not have a normal car, but a machine! The trip became a 4-hour trip over rough and smooth and not very trusted bridge .. Meanwhile, our car was
by the constant downhill and uphill so hot that we decided to insert in the bush on the slope a cool break for the car. Campinggear out and played skat! Sight for the gods, I tell you .. Eventually we arrived
have pitched the tent and other back from the fire a fire for us, conjured up where we left end of the day :-) Yesterday the 10th Ginger's next to the waterfall größsten in NSW, the Ellenborough Falls. 400m and 641 steps more, we indulge ourselves down a cool bath.
then went shopping's and on to the campsite, where we have camped again right on the beach and between kangaroos! So that's
follows first for today .. then continued in 3-4 days. I hope then with more pictures!
ps shocking turn left! and bush fire warning for Victoria completely not there so as with you ;-)
