Well since our last post from the amazing Whitsundays (we are still on a high from it!!) we have been keeping ourselves busy. We currently in Hervey Bar where we have just returned from a 2day 1night 4x4 adventure on Fraser Island.
Before then however we went to Rockhampton and inland to Emerald where we went searching for real sapphires. It was back breaking work digging around in the mud, washing and sieving the soil/rocks however both myself and Jo were lucky to find a total of 5 sapphires that are big enough to be cut. Unfortunately we didnt find any big enough to pay for our trip or the next one, but apparently it is possible so there is another place to return too!!!
After trying to find our fortune we headed back to the coast to Hervey Bay where we went whale watching, we saw about 17 humpback whales splashing, jumping and playing around our boat. It was pretty amazing and they are massive, especially when compared to our little boat!
After whaling around we headed to Fraser Island where we drove around in 4x4 along the beach and in lots of sand. Also lots of fun!! Driving in soft sand is definitely a different driving experience!
Next stop for us is Noosa further down the coast and then onto Brisbane. I cant believe only 2 weeks left here....where does the time go. We will be home before you know it :-(
1st a big moutain though......ekkk.

Sounds like you are having way too much fun!!! Don't expect the prospect of life in the real world is too appealing right now! Better go nd find some more(bigger)sapphires.
