So Mooloolaba was a few weeks back, but still one of the best parts of my trip. Before I got here, I felt super alone in my travels. But Mooloolaba Backpackers was a small hostel, filled with super awesome people. It's a small town, and I mainly just stopped here to see Scott from Sydney while he was visiting his parents for Easter, but it ended up such a great decision. Some of my favorite people included Lorna (an awesome English girl who I became fast friends and drinking/dancing partners with), Ian (a feisty, silly Irishman who was wonderful), Whitey (a well-traveled English photographer--hilarious. We tangoed in parking lots and giggled galore), Morgan (Aussie man who is the guy I'm with in the photo below. We became fast friends, and I'm going back to Brisbane after I get to cairns to visit him! And possible even tattoo a little maze on his upper back. Super pumped), and many more. Every day we would all go our separate ways and reconvene around 4, eat food, crack some ciders and sit by the pool smoking cigarettes, chatting, and fighting over the single hammock. In the evenings we (they) would play pool and ping pong, lounge, and around 9:30 we would all go to the river (the hostel kicked us out around then every night for the neighbors sake) and from there we'd head out and go dancing.
Party bus.
Morgan! Fun fact about him: he is going to do the walk around Australia! Meaning the dude is going to walk all the way around Australia's coast. The journey will take about two years, and he's doing it for charity. Such a rad bloke. Also that is is hat which he passed onto me. Best souvenir.
During one of my first days in Mooloolaba I took a trip to the Australia Zoo! This is STEVE'S ZOO! I saw fuckign Terry and Bindi and Robert! That's them feeding a saltwater croc below! And I held a koala! Weeooo!
