Our Greyhound bus on Friday left Coffs Harbour around 6am, which meant getting up much earlier to take a cab down to the bus stop. Very early day. But the bus ride was short, and we were in Yamba before we knew it. Yamba was a really nice little town. The YHA hostel there seemed really new, which was awesome! And it was located right on the main street, rather than out of town like some other towns we had visited. The other thing was that it was pretty quiet too. You feel a little bad when a nice place isn’t getting very much business, but on the flipside it’s awfully nice when everything is super clean because it’s not very busy. Lol When we checked in that morning, we went back to bed and napped ... read more

Hello! Thought we were off air? Well, we had a spell for a month on the Gold Coast and now we are back on the road headed for home. Should arrive around mid November. We will be travelling around the coast with mainly four night stays. For the numerates, we have now done over 10,000 klm at 14 litres per hundred . Some #@!!*??!! has taken duco off the front and just driven off! I was paying for petrol at the time. Oh well ... it takes all types! TALLEBUDGERA (Palm Beach) Because we stayed in one area for so long, we didn't want to bore you with our every move. The drive down from the Sunshine Coast to the Gold Coast on the 16th September was less than two hours. On the 17th we flew ... read more

Er, HELLO?? Has nobody noticed my massive hair???? Yes, I had to embrace my curls as its hard enough getting a shower every day, there is no way that I could manage to straighten it! Anyway, I take great comfort in the fact that nobody knows me here. Just a brief note, as we've not really been up to much, as we ended up in the most boring place ever! On some old couple's recommendation (obviously, that Steve was talking to - they all love him!) we ened up in some strange place called Yamba, maybe it was because it was sunday, or maybe we missed the place of action, but we couldn't find anything and all the shops/restaurants were closed. So after fish and chips for tea (no other option) we had an early night ... read more

With our new found freedom (hip, hip hooray) we headed for Coochin Creek again, looking for that seclusion and wildlife adventure and also a bit of cheap camping. But this time it was raining and it was getting dark, we had just dropped them off at Brisbane airport and it was rush hour traffic again. Our hangovers from the debauchery of the night before still hung heavily over us. We were just too tired, so at the first rest area just 20km north of the city, which turned out to be a truck stop at the back of a Caltex garage, was to be our home for the night. We had also discovered another problem with the van, we had sprung a leak through one of the rear windows over the bed, and as it looked ... read more

A beautiful warm sunny day. Lazy morning and then out and about in the general area. Went to Angourie which is south and another beach side town. Then on to Maclean which is a very Scottish town. They have tartans on hundreds of the power poles with the name on them also. Did a drive around to find our clans and then had a pleasant lunch overlooking the Clarence River and Woodford Island which is the largest inland island in the southern hemisphere. Then back to Yamba for a look around the beaches and then to the fish shop to get some to cook for tea. They have changed how you put maps on this site and I have yet to figure out how it now works so no maps for a while. -- ... read more

We left Coffs harbor nice and early in the morning so that we could have leisurely drive up to Yamba and then may even have time to go and lie on the beach once we got there. Well that was the plan anyway but my car had other ideas, about 50ks along the road it started miss firing, so I pulled over and had a look at a few things but without any tools etc I couldn’t do that much so I opted to take it to a garage in the next town along. The bloke at the garage had a look at the car and after about 30 mins he came back to me and explained that who ever had serviced the car last had changed all but one of the spark plugs as ... read more
