Hi We are now travelling down the coast towards Sydney. All is going very well. Had our first swim today! Sticking to caravan parks each night as there are no safe free parks here as too built up.... read more

Our next stop on the mighty Greyhound took us to Coffs Harbour, a small city right on the tourist track famous for diving and water sports. After a whistle stop tour of the main area by the mini bus driver, she took us up to a look out point to show us the main landmarks to get our bearings of the town, we took a stroll down to the local shops to get some supplies in. The hostel had a very young adventure feel about it the room was a good size but a little over shabby, the main lounge, kitchen dinner had everything in it but could have benefited from having some division. After a good night sleep and a hearty breakfast it was time to set off again on another day of exploration and ... read more

so leider hat sich es etwas gedauert um etwas von mir zu hoeren!Die zeit vergeht viel zu schnell,und dann kommt auch noch dazu das wir nicht immer drahtlos verbindung haben zum Internet! Nach einigen Wochen war es aber dann soweit und wir haben abschied von jo+pieter in sydney genommen. Und sind mit unserem Madzda richtung norden die kueste entlang. Einer von unseren ersten stops war Seal Rocks,super schoener Pointbreak an einem kleinen fast einsamen dorf. Wuenderschoenes klares Wasser und Wellen fast jeden tag,die auf uns warteten. Und da beste an diesem spot war natuerlich(fuer alle surfer) das fast niemand im Wasser war:-)!! Nach etwa 3 dagen sind wir dann zum groessten baum in NSW-New South Wales. Was ganz schoen beindrueckend ist,mit einer laenge von 76m-woooow!! Obwohl ich zugeben muss das die baeume fuer mich hier allgemein ... read more

Hey, so its another double blog writing session today, since I want to keep ares separate, i feel it makes better reading!! The last blog left off in Byron Bay having had my first surf lesson. That night, i stayed in the hostel as they were having a film night, watched a film called hostel...yeah never again, disgusting film! The following day was much the same as the day of my first surf lesson. I got up, hit the beach for a bit, before going for a surf lesson at 12. They offered me a reduced price hence doing it again. We went to the same beach, but today being a second dayer we hit the water straight away, without any theory on the beach. They ran out of beginners boards so they gave me more ... read more

We arrived at Surf camp at 6:30pm on Sunday night (just north of Coff's Harbour). The drive was surprisingly straightforward, strictly on the freeway for the most part. They had dinner ready for us, and a warm campfire (not to mention beds in a cabin that had a heater!) We spent that evening trying our best to stay awake past 9:30 pm, meeting people around the campfire. We roomed with Emma and Gary from Scotland, who had been travelling together for nine months already, and were going for another four or so. Most others were European or British, and travelling whimsically from place to place with no solid plans for tomorrow or when they were going to go home. What a crowd! The crew at surf camp were SO friendly, and our instructor was fabulous. We ... read more
