Catchya Trev!

Trevor's last day in Rainbow Beach, testin out the surf... Click HERE to see the full album of his last day.

As most of you probably already know, my travelling partner has decided to return home after being in Oz for a few months. Yes, sadly my brother and I parted ways about a month ago. Trevor made his way back home to North Bay Ontario on a very long 30 hour flight while I stayed back in Rainbow Beach awaiting the annual fishing competition at the end of July. A Few things have gone down since the departure of my brother. I have been able to escape Rainbow a couple of times to enjoy some places outside of the coloured sands hot spot.

An experience that was memorable but also insanely cold (YES, Australia does get cold during their winter months!) was at Great Sandy National Park at the Freshwater Campground where I got to spend a couple of days hiking through the rainforest testing my fitness abilities that have recently been drowned by copious amounts of goon sacks over a couple months. A 14km hike back to Rainbow Beach was a combination of excitement, challenging, exhilarating and finally a sense of accomplishment.

Plans are in the books to finally leave Rainbow Beach after the fishing comp is done and I finish off one more week at Pippie's Beach House and end the whole trip in the famous and #2 on RACQ's top 150 things to do in Australia - Fraser Island.

Until then, let's just say that Australia has so far been quite the journey and I can only expect more amazing experiences along the way as I head up North towards Port Douglas. Thanks to my lil bro for setting the beginning of this journey to be something super amazing especially being able to share it with my brother. Thanks to everyone for making my trip a beautiful memory that continues to grow each and every day. In the Aussie way..... Simple AWWWW-Some!
