Hurrah, more blue sky the first day, sorry everyone!!! ;) Though you will be pleased to know that the weather over the last few days hasn't been great but it might do my skin a bit of good I suppose. Gorgeous beach at byron bay, and very busy on Wednesday. Once the midday heat passed, we took the opportunity to have a walk up to the byron bay lighthouse. 2 hours later we got there but the views were very worth it. The coastal walk also takes you to the most easte...

Unfortunately I didn't make it to the rainforest yesterday (monday 1st) but instead i decided to take myself off on a camel ride along the beach! The weather wasn't brilliant but it didn't really need to be as the camels were very chilled. My camel "moose" was a complete character and the constant standing-up-sitting-down made it a fairly scary but also a very entertaining ride. Also managed to nab some complimentary photos too, and when you're travelling you get...

Then went down through 'The rocks', a little area filled with houses that looked like old English cottages, very cute. Not really sure where the rock part comes in as our guided tour was cancelled (apparently 2...

Well I'm still alive 48 hours after arriving so I guess that's a good sign?? Only another 2400 hours of survival to go.. I'm sure I can manage that! Started off yesterday desperately trying to sort some of the issues I'm having with oz experience and my bank. Was informed that as of the first of April oz experience buses will not actually be running.... Greeeat! Instead everyone will just be using greyhound buses which are like normal coaches instead of guided to...
