I loved having room to move but the air conditioning was too high and I was very Cole, having dressed for the weather.

The bus we were on (Airlie to Townsville) crashed. Driver very obviously drifting off to sleep at the wheel.
Laura B.
The bust got stopped middle of road and we gotta wait for next bus to come for 2 hours. Sometimes it happens but the bus driver wasn’t helpful enough…
