Glenn Innes was our next destination and we were a little unsure about stopping here but as it was the only choice on the road back to the coast we went for it. It was a small town in the Celtic country and they sure do love everything Scottish with bagpipe players aplenty. We selected a small park with only about 30 sites and then headed into town. Our first stop was the local RSL club for lunch which I think the best way to describe it is like having somet...

Today we set off on The Waterfall Way, expecting great scenery and some stunning views, with waterfalls cascading down mountains and interesting walks. What we got however was slightly different. Some waterfalls were mostly trickles as the effects of so little rain became apparent.

There wasn't much to do here but there was a Koala Hospital so we went for a look. The hospital was situated next to an old house in massive grounds, ...

This was awesome and we were lucky to see Humpback whales surfacing and jumping out of the water. Dolphins also raced in front of our boat and it was fantastic to see them playing. Our other highlight was sand boarding which is greaaaaaaaat. We went out into the middle of giant sand dunes and basically climbed t...
