HAr proevd aa legge ut noen surfebilder her men det gikk desverre ikke, men for de som har Blink saa ligger det noen bilder der:) Men har lagt ut et par andre bilder da, under Surf Camp.

Naa har vi booket oss inn paa et hostell rett ved siden av stranda, her skal vi ligge til mandag.

Hello readers! I travelled to Byron Bay with Phil for a few days before he left and then Liam came to Byron to meet me. We decided to move to a place called Lennox Head as we were waiting for Laurie to come and wanted to save some money and Byron Bay is quite expensive! Lennox Head is a quiet little surfing town, really picturesque. We stayed here for 9 days, the accomodation was brilliant for the price, we had a little apartment between 6 of us! We took the opportunity to relax, relax and then ...relax! We spent our days on the beach, in the pool, in a gorgeous tea tree lake (the lake had tea tree trees surrounding it so it was filled with tea tree oil, looked like a giant cup of tea!). ... read more

Byron in a nutshell: partied all night, slept on the beach all day. Met up with Cosi (girl who I met on Fraser Island) and we stayed at a guy's house who rented out his rooms to travellers. This made a refreshing change to staying at a hostel, and meant that all my unwashed clothes could be unpacked and spread about my bed, so that made me feel right at home. Byron has a real mix of people from geriatric hippies (a large proportion of the town!) to seemingly 12 year old (but in reality 18) Oz girls and boys getting drunk; so me and Cosi fitted right in!! We mainly caught some serious rays at the beach during the day, or practised our surfing skills, as we are both planning on entering the next World ... read more

Hi All, Time for the next installment! Sorry it's taken a while, I wrote it but forgot to publish, d'oh! We are on a roadtrip up the East Coast at the moment with another couple, Mike and Monique. Camping or staying in hostels all the way. We've stopped at various places but have spent most of our time in Byron Bay and Surfers Paradise so far. Port Macquarie was our first stop - a little seaside town where we swam, chilled out and visited a koala sanctuary - not seen any wild ones yet though. Next stop Byron Bay which I loved. For those of you who haven't been, it's this chilled out little surfer town with a gorgeous beach and great atmosphere. Our campsite overlooked the beach and we spent most of our time there, ... read more

Hello from Byron Bay, I have just finished a 5day surf tour from Sydney up to Byron Bay which is about an hour or so away from Brisbane. There were 6 of us (our group) on the tour but we were joined by another 40 odd people so it finally gave us a chance to get to meet some new characters which was nice. We were picked up at 8am on Monday morning from Syndey and driven for a few hours up the coast to the villa type base at the surf camp. Almost as soon as we had arrived it was a case of grabbing some lunch, dropping off our bags then heading out for another drive to one of the many remote beaches where we were given our first lesson in how to stand ... read more
