Hi, we are Mike and Trish and about to start the next phase of our lives. Over thirty years ago we travelled from London to Kathmandu which instilled in us a love of travel. We live in Australia and since our initial adventure have done the "family thing". During this period we have maintained our travel bug by regular trips OS but mostly by 4WDing and camping trips throughout this great country.

Coral Bay better than Byron Bay?
It was interesting reading this article (http://tiny.cc/ck26ew via The Age Melbourne) after reading your blog, and also talking about it on the phone. The photos from The Age article definitely look stunning, and can't wait to see your photos on here! BUT, there does seem to a slight problem with things in the water that can eat you...and a 2 metre Tiger Shark cruising along the beach a few metres offshore would be enough to keep me out of the water until I got all the way back around to Portsea in Melbourne! And now as you move further North you will have bloody saltwater crocodiles to contend with as well! Stay out of the water!!!! Love you both xx
