Paul Michael James Drea Got the bus from Byron up to Surfers.

Big place with skyscrapers! from a distance i thought it was Brisbane !

Even bigger waves than Byron, great for surfers, pretty hard to swim in. on wave would knock you over then another then another and so on. however met up with the Lizard King and Clara Bell who were making their way down the coast in their Devil Duck van, living the hippy dream.

weather up here was very good, hot, plenty of sun.

Second day got down to Burleigh Heads to see Auntie Betty and Lindon. They were great, loved their house and the position. walked out to the Beach, had a paddle in a canoe on the river behind their house.

had a nice lunch with more beer and sparkly at a Surf club then had to go to Brisbane to get a plane.

another loud backpackers with very young English kids getting drunk. where do they get the money?

posers i'm afraid not travellers, just spending mummy and Daddy's money or extending their uni days, living in halls of res !


never mind
