We all had just gotten out of the water. The skipper said that the jellyfish did not come out in the morning, only toward the night. I was drying off when I heard, “look!” A fin was slicing out of the water, not more than ten feet from the boat. A tiger shark, the skipper said.Four Germans and two Americans set out to sail the Coral Sea. No, not a set-up to a bar joke was quite an experience let me tell you.First, let me say that I have never stayed in a hostel. We all went up to Brisbane on a Friday, the day before our flight to Airlie Beach, to have a night out on the town. The idea was that we were going to stay in a hostel. The minute I walked in, I walked right back out in protest. I convinced my friends that it would be much more practical to get a hotel.

Summer is definitely on its way and most Aussies know what this means Festival Season! The Australian culture is obsessed with music festivals, so to gain the full experience of this amazing country you must attend.
Scorching hot sun, carefree dancing, good mates, great music and a few drinks are definitely on the top of our agenda.
Last weekends Parklife festival in Brisbane’s Botanical Gardens was a succuss with thousands of people attending. The event sure did amaze audiences with an international, all star line-up consisting of some of the most cutting edge electro/hip-hop/breaks/house and progressive artists to come to town.

I just got off the phone with a close friend of mine on the Gold Coast. He said that the weather is getting warmer and the mood has shifted from winter to summer.
Ah, such a great time to be in Australia.
Many folks now will travel from the northern hemisphere to the southern and experience all that Australia has to offer. Before you go and while you are there, our team hopes you enjoy our coverage of Australia.
When I was just a young lad, I had a dream to go to Australia. That’s right; I said that one day I was going to go college in Australia. Coming form the farming town of Culdesac, Idaho (population around 300) in the United States, that idea was a bit of a stretch. But I have a secrete to share with you: When you set your mind to something, you can do anything.
