How are ya mates, been a couple weeks and I thought I'd let ya know what's going on. I've been getting busier in the clinic lately so time has just been flying these last couple weeks. Work is good, I'm just trying to take it all in which is overwhelming at times and other times it's really rewarding. This last weekend was a surf weekend, so I don't have any good pics, just stories. I surfed two beaches on saturday, in the morning I was at park beach which is just south of Macaulies where I usually surf with the Mackie's. It's basically straight down to the beach from where I'm staying. The waves were massive, I'm talking like nearly three times my height! Needless to say I was paddling for waves but I wasn't paddling ... read more

Hello and welcome to the latest enstalment of Jonnys Ozzy Adventures!!! The last time I left you i was sun bathing it up at Surfers Paradise. I forgot to add there that I won the inaugural game of crazy golf at King Tut's Putt Putt and also ate far too many kebabs!! From Surfers we headed South to Byron/Bryan Bay. This place was utterly stunning and perhaps my favourite of all the surfey towns we have been to down the East Coast. Its so beautiful as it does not have any sky scrapers encroaching its stupendous views, but its just an old fashioned styley town of surf and sun. It has a very hippy feel to it also, with everyone completely chilled out (other than a local Byron nobhead who wanted to start a fight with ... read more

Hey guys! So YES its been a while since I have updated this thing, but its so easy to get side tracked when you are surrounded by rain forests and beautiful beaches :). So what I’m going to do is just do a blog for each city I went to :) here it goes... So it started off with me not wanting to travel alone and finding a girl on the internet from P.E.I. she also didn’t want to travel alone so we phoned each other and the next day she was on a bus to Canberra. We left two days after that to our first stop of Sydney... now I had already been to Sydney on many occasions so we just stopped there for the day and she saw the Oprah house and Sydney Harbour ... read more

how are ya mates? It's all good out here. I've just finished a five day surf trip from sydney up to byron bay which was a blast. We had a group of twenty-five, again, mostly english. We surfed every day two of which we surfed almost all day, man it was tiring. I did pretty well and ended up winning a free trip for being the charger of the group all week. I just came back down from byron yesterday after a celebration and saying good bye's to everybody which was tough (we were just starting to get close too). Unfortunately everybody is heading north to cairns and moving on from there in the next month or so. I start my internship tomorrow and look forward to being stationary for a bit. I unpacked my ... read more

Friday May 5. Once again ordered off the streets of my country by security threatening fine for ' unauthorised street trading'. So much for freedom of speech. I'm supposed to go to the council and pay for a permit. That I will not do. A day of mixed fortune because although I was also told to furl the flag at the Coffs Harbour Hotel, many stickers went out. A kid who gave me an apple strudel for a sticker at a bakery was at a beach and proudly showed me the sticker on his car. Saturday. A small bird, all black. Small bird, red ass, white neck and a crest like some roman soldier's helment. Bunches of rainbow lorikeets. Small birds with rippling stripes of brown and white down their breasts. A grey bird with a ... read more
