Next stop on dumb and dumber's big trip is Byron Bay. With Amy navigating and Martin driving it was a bit of a disaster to be honest...everytime Amy said LEFT, Martin ignored her, every time she said RIGHT, he ignored her again...there was a lot of turning round and doubling back on ourselves before we managed to arrive safe and sound! Upon arrival we booked ourselves onto a sunrise tour which unfortunately ruled out any activity apart from sleeping for that evening. We did manage to catch Australian Idol though, which by the way if you haven't heard was won by an Irish guy?!?!

We did indeed make it up in time to watch the sunrise and then went straight back to bed afterwards for another much needed six hours sleep, zzz zzz zzz. As much as we like to give off the air that we are footloose and fancy free and just drift from place to place with no real idea of where we are actually going it doesn't really work so well when you have to be back in Sydney to catch a flight on a certain day at a certain time...I held a planning session - I was the only one that showed up ;) Well whatever trevor!

Has anyone ever heard Martin sneeze?? He sounds a bit like a child making gun noises! We made up this great game where Amy, Schnoo and I had to "shoot" Madtin whenever he sneezed and the winner (whoever shot him first) got a point! Points didn't mean prizes though unfortunately...Amy was on about 100 points by the time we left (she was on the ball a lot more than the rest of us it would seem) We would encourage everyone to take part in this game if you are hanging out with Martin since it seemed to bring him so much joy! Oh, how I have missed the constant..."Gemma Layton!!" (even when it isn't my fault!).

We visited our favourite Thai restaurant and ate far too much then headed to the pub for the 10th night in a row! We had another night out in the infamous Cheeky Monkeys which was jam-packed with School kids who didn't leave us a whole lot of room to dance on the tables. We met a "cracker" of a guy called Michael - "G'day, I'm from Bedford". We eventually got onto the topic of sports and he eagerly threw in the question "Who do you think is going to win the cricket??", well maate, in all honesty we aren't going to take any gip from someone who thinks Manchester Utd is the best football team in England and that David Beckham is their best player.

WELCOME TO QUEENSLAND! We stopped in the Glasshouse Mountains for a night and spent the afternoon learning how to play town/crown green bowls...maybe not huh Madtin!? Turns out this town is home to the Beegees...Barry Gibb, Gibb Gibb and Dead Gibb. We checked into Steve Irwin's brother's hotel and ended up with a whole wooden hut to ourselves! Nice one!

It took us all day to realise that something wasn't quite right in this new found state. First of all the lady at the bowls club told us we shouldn't really be going outside between 12 and 2pm, even though it was 3pm, then the lady at the bar of the bowls club wouldn't serve us even though she said she opened at 3pm and it was now 4pm, the cafe was supposed to shut at 5pm but was still open at 5:30, the 5 o'clock news was on at 6pm?! And the Simpson's and Neighbours didn't start at their usual times....after all this had happened, it was only because there was a small mention on the news about Queensland Don't Do Daylight Savings that we realised we had been an hour ahead of ourselves all day....you big eejits!

The story of the Glasshouse Mountains in brief goes a bit like this...Adam you'll like this one; a family (represented by the mountains) were running away and the Daddy said to his eldest son to help his mother, the eldest son decides that his mother is too fat to be saved so runs off on his own. Then the Dad throws something heavy at the boy and breaks his neck (he is the mountain with the crooked top) and the family disown him for the rest of his life. Turns out the mother wasn't fat...she was actually pregnant (she is the pregnant looking mountain) the other 15 mountains represented the rest of their children but weren't really anything to do with the story! Instead of climbing up any of the mountains we decided we would drive to the scenic lookout instead, this was more difficult than expected when Madtin drove past the sign saying Lookout - arguing he didn't think that was the turning to the Lookout because it didn't have 'Scenic' before it!?
