This is a guest post from straddie.info, check out their website if you’re interested in visiting Stradbroke Island.

Stradbroke Island is one of Queensland’s gems. This is the real, original Queensland island, designed to include as many luxuries and as much comfort and fun as possible. It’s just across the water from Brisbane, surrounded by fabulous waters and mysterious places to explore, great food, luxury accommodation, beautiful beaches and fabulous bush.

Before I arrive at a destination I always check hostel websites to book before I arrive, it’s handy because I can read reviews of other people that have stayed and choose the most appropriate one for my budget (that’ll be the cheapest one without rats and cockroaches everywhere then).

I wasn’t quite sure what this ‘Australia Day’ was all about. I never heard about it before arriving in Australia and close to the time. January 26th every year is the date. To me it seemed just a day to be patriotic for no particular reason. Being close to Sydney, I went into the city to check what it’s all about.It certainly seemed a festive time. The Australian flag on display everywhere, on buildings, cars, and people. Not just clothing but a lot of painted faces too. Read the rest! \(^u^)/ →
