While Sydney Internships office was closed, I was lucky to have some time to travel a little :)
I had such a great time with Alina, one of our interns!!
We went to the Base travel agency and booked our trip. First we took the Premier overnight bus that took us from Sydney to Byron Bay, where we enjoyed the laid-back atmosphere of this small beach town. We kayaked and saw some dolphins, it was so amazing and definitely something I will never forget !

Then we took the Premier bus again and drove to Brisbane. All of the tickets were purchased through the travel agency, so we didn't need to worry about where to get them :) In Brisbane we walked across the shopping malls and went to the cinema. It's a nice city with plenty to see and do.

Another highlight of our tour was a camping trip to Moreton Island that included fun activities. This island is much less popular than its more famous island neighbor Fraser Island, but I don't understand why! It feel like you're stranded on a deserted island. There are beautiful beaches,lagoons and bays. We took a million pictures :) We explored the whole area in a 4WD car, which was a really bumpy ride! Then we went sandboarding on huge dunes.

We slept in tents and some spiders,bugs and even a biiig snake visited us, UGH!
Our campground
But we survived and went snorkeling around the ship wrecks on the next day, where we fed the fish which was fun :)
After our camping trip we went back to Brisbane by ferry and had a fun night out at some bars!
On our last day in Brisbane it was raining ALL DAY, but we still had a good time and visited South Bank which has a nice promenade along the river.

Then it was already time for us to head back to Sydney...We had booked a really cheap flight and it only took us about an hour to get back to our Sydney home :)
I hope all of you who will travel through Australia will have a great time (I'm sure you will :) ) and see and do as much as possible!!
