As soon as we were awake after a rather sleepness night in our tent, I decided to look for a shower. 🙂 Luckily I found one at a caravan park next to our tent ( it was open because of the huge music festival which was to open this weekend on Stradbroke Island)

After I had had a shower we packed all our stuff (not much) and hitchhiked to the beach. 🙂 A young couple from Australia, who have come over for the music festival, gave us a lift in their  very small car. 🙂 After we had arrived at the beach, we started to walk the North Gorge track with our backpacks.

We saw a kangaroo family and some whales on our way.

We spotted a lot of nice places to camp but decided to keep on walking, because it would have been  too dangerous (e.g. in front of a cliff^^). We were just going to settle down in the wilderness again, when Leonardo (the booked couchsurfing-host) called us and invited us to his apartment. After we had had our lunch, we walked along the road to hitchhike to his apartment.

We were lucky and a very friendly man with his daughter picked us up and gave us a lift to the „whale watch ocean resort“, our new home. Very beautiful view, our own room and so friendly hosts (Leonardo and Tom). The two guys told us, that we should feel like being at home, could do whatever we wanted, and stay as long as we wanted. 🙂 🙂 Heaven again? 😛 We were also told that it was not good to go snorkelling that day, it would be better to wait till the next day, and then go to the South Gorge. 🙂 So first of all we took a nap in our comfortable new room. 🙂
