The Journey Started. The planned route until middle of September.
Today I arrived in Byron Bay, after 2 Days trip and a night in Port Macquarie. I saw already a awesome Nature on the way. I visited two beaches where was nobody. the sand was Gold and the Water clear blue.The Pacific Highway is one of the most beautiful motorways i ever drove. from Sydney to Byron bay you see Mountains, Forrest, Ocean and willows (so big that you can't see the end). The temperature getting higher during the day. Here in Byron bay it was already 24C at the day. I saw one beautiful Sunrise and a awesome sunset in Byron bay. I can smell the fresh air. If you go out of the city after so long time you realist how dirty the City is...

Byron Bay is such a relaxed place. One of the reasons is the big hippie culture. on the main street you can find three different shops, Surf shops pubs and nice coffees. the Beach is so long that you can't see the end on the horizon. Byron is one of the Spots to see Dolphins and Wales. i hope tomorrow on my kayak tour i will see some. Today i had a Relaxed day at the Beach. I really missed the Beach days...

At the 03.08.18 I made the Byron bay Kayak tour on the Sea. We saw a wale a little bit far away, very close Dolphins and a Turtle. That was awesome, the tour was around 2-3 hours in the bay and around the easterly point of Australia. Yesterday I had my first Surfers lesson. A half day is definitely to short... but I got the imported skill to get on the Board and how to Surf. Now I just have to improve my skills. I hope I can do it in the following days...
Today Christian, Janina and I rented bikes and drove over the beach to Brunswick around 17km far away it was a nice trip. On the way back we made the decision to ride along the road, to see something from the country side. We had no choice which street we drove back so we was riding on the Motorway. In Australia its normal to drive on the Motorway with bicycle, sometimes there are no other streets close by.

A lot of things happened the last days. We had one day relaxing at byron bay at the pool of the Hostel before we start traveling further north. Janina and christian have the same way but less time than me. So I change my plannings a little bit that we can travel a part of this trip together. So we drove together to Surfers Paradiese at Gold Coast for 1 day. I got up early for jogging on this amazing skyline. And later we went to the beach because its the last time to go swimming in the sea. From here to the north its not really safe to go in the water, Crocodiles and sharks... in the evening we went out together and had a lot of fun. Janina and I was flying in the Slingshot and after we went to a games center. We played Lasertag, Mario card and air-hokey. And at the end we had some cocktails in a nightclub where we danced until 2am. The next day we continued further north to Noosa from here our Fraser island tour starts. Janina and Christian started a few days before me so I have some days relaxing in Noosa. So I watched sunsets enjoyed a coast walk and the beach. The Best will be my Birthday on Fraser island. No connection to the outside World :)

Fraser Island 4wd Drive Tour. From the 16.08.2018 to the 18.08.2018 I went to Fraser island. A awesome Trip! One of the most Beautiful places I ever saw.
Day 1. The Day started early. 0700 am departure with the bus to Rainbow Beach where we pick up our 4wd. On the way its Foggy and everybody is sleeping. After a while the Sun comes out, Blue Sky! After and after everyone get up. The Water will not chance for the next two days. In Rainbowe beach we get separated in 8 people per group and car. Everything in the boot. And we are on the street with our four by four vehicles. A small ferry take us over to Fraser island and it starts directly with soft sand on the Beach. The Fun can Start! We took a inland track and than back to the beach. I'm in car 4 ( the last Car). Around 20 minutes after the Ferry car 3 was reporting a strong smell and high temperature, we stopped. Tony our tour guide was fixing a transmission cooling tube and hoped that we can continue with the car, but after a next 10 minutes ride we stopped again. Car 3 is not moving anymore... Transmission oil is running out. So we needed to wait for a new car and had lunch ( Sandwiches) on the Beach. Around 1 hour later we got a new one and drove to our destination (Lake wabby) 2.4km's walking before we arrive on a sand dune with the Lake. Before the sun goes down we returning to the Resort for Dinner and Party. The night we spend in a Tippi. Easy but nice.
Day 2. the night was pretty worm. I got up at 0600 am and watched a beautiful Sunrise, Dingo footprints everywhere on the beach. After breakfast we started to the North of Fraser. Champagne pools is our destination Today. On the way we stop at Indians Head a cliff with a nice look out.at the pools we speed around 1 ½ hours before we drove back. The waves coming over the cliff and and filling it up with fresh sea water. For lunch we had wraps. Next stop was the MS. Maheno. The nearly complete sunken ship on Fraser island. After a few pictures we continue to our last stop for today (Eli Creek). A fresh water creek. The water is so clean that we can drink it. We walk up the creek for 150 meters and swimming down to the beach. For me the beast part of the Tour. In the evening we had Pasta for dinner and Party again.
Day 3. 18.08.2018 what for a date. My first day with 29 started again at 0615 on the Beach with a beautiful Sunrise. After breakfast we took the inland tack to lake McKanzie. One hours driving with max speed of 25 km/h on a very soft and bumpy track. Lake MCKanzie is a rainwater lake, that make him super clear. For lunch again wraps in the resort and than heading back to Rainbow Beach. I drove a last time on the beach. After two hours ride back in the Bus we had a small after Party in the hostel. What for a trip! Amazing.
18.08.2018
After Fraser island I drove to Agnes Water. I've got a little cold and spend 3 Days in the Hostel to get recovered. Agnes Water have only one nice thing to do, a Kangaroo Park where you can feed Kangaroos. I met two German guys and continued to Airlie Beach for the Sailing trip.
I meet 2 people from the Fraser island trip on the Apollo Boat. We started 24.08.18 at 0830 in the morning with course to White haven Beach. Around 4 hours later we arrived in a bay on the other side of the Beach. We got on land by a rubber raft from where we walked uphill to a lookout with a awesome view over the White haven Beach (See on pictures). After the lookout we had 3 hours time on the beach. We swam in the sea and the Greek. Walked along the beach before we got back on the Boat. The Sand here is really White and the Water is so Blue than nowhere else. We went to a bay on the other side of the white Sunday islands to stay over night. We had dinner, played some group games and had a nice evening.
The Second day started with a nice Bacon and scramble eggs. This day was our diving day. We got separated in small groups for diving.
I tried to Snorkeling and diving but I couldn't. I have the feeling I cant breath under water...
after lunch we drove to a other place. For Snorkeling diving again
after dinner we had a Relax evening I was laying in the front sail for two hours and fall nearly a sleep over there. We saw so many stars. Beautiful.
On the last day we had a little bit of rain in the morning. But after a few minute's the sun returned and we went out for snorkeling and diving again. Ive got a rope from the mast and I jumped a few times in the water from the Boat. than course back to Airlie Beach. I drove the boat for nearly 3 hours.
Back in Airlie the first thing to do was a shower! Because there was no really shower on the boat. After 3 days with salt water and sun cream it was so great. we had a small after party with some people and the skipper.. a another really nice trip on my journey.

Next day 27.08 heading to Townsville. A short drive of 3:30 hours. After I arrived I dropped Yasmin on the ferry and I went to a mountain lookout. Enjoyed a nice few over Townsville from 300meters above. On the next day Janina returned from Cairns to spend one month more with me on the trip around Australia, before she will return to New Zealand.

29.08 Janina and i set over to Magnetic island. We stayed in a nice hostel on the ocean. We already booked two nights more so that we had 4 nights on Magnetic. Its super chill out. Its also pretty worm already 28C during the day. Holiday from the holiday! :) 1 day we went out for hiking to see Australia's wildlife. koalas and wallaby's. We saw 3 wildlife koalas and in the evening we fed the wallaby's with sweet potato. They are so cute. We walked 26 Km on this day.
2. day relaxing. We watched the sunrise on the Beach and had a nice breakfast. I was still so tired from the walk a day before that I slept during midday. On the 3 day we walked to west point its around 8km walk from the Hostel.we spend the midday on a lonely Beach before we walked back to the Hostel on the way we found a nice place on a hill to watch the Sunset. Fourth day we watched again the beautiful Sunrise and had breakfast. I booked my flights for the Defqon 1 festival in Sydney and in the evening we went again to feeding again the cute wallaby's. Last day we went to Picknick bay for a ice and later we took the ferry back to Townsville. Bye bye Magnetic Island. It was a really nice time. Back in Townsville we stay the night in a small and nice hostel where we meet again people from my Fraser island tour. We went together next day to Mission Beach for the Skydive. On the way we stopped on Australians highest waterfall (Walla man Falls). 300 meter drop the water from the top to the bottom. We had a nice walk down and we went for a short swimming in the cold water. It felt like 2C. I never swam in cold water like this!

In Mission Beach we stayed in a nice Air BnB with Yasmin the Irish girl that I met on Fraser island and on the Apollo sailing trip. We stayed 3 Days here. Yasmin was pretty sick so that she couldn't do here Skydive. But Janina and I did it!! I couldn't sleep the night before. But in the moment wen we got in the Plan every fear drops from me and I enjoyed the nice climb to 15000ft. 45seconds of free fall and 3 minutes on the parachute! I think I have a new hobbie... I want to do it direct again! Awesome! With the landing on the Beach. So beautiful. The rest of the day we just relaxed from this Adrenalin shock. The next day we drove to the a beach close by and walked a little bit. First time since weeks cloudy and and a little bit dark. But it was dry the hold day.

On the 11.09. I went out for snorkeling on the Great barrier Reef on a day trip. Janina did it already some days ago. The color of the water was so nice. I saw a turtle and a lot of really nice fish's. But no sharks... :( The next day we went up to cape Tribulation we saw a nice sunrise on a lonely beach and had a nice breakfast. We did some small walks and stopped on some lookouts. Its a nice street along the coast. The Daintree forest is one of the oldest Rain forest on Earth.
