I left Coffs Harbour and the bad weather behind quite early, and drove out of the city when the sun came up. The bus ride was convenient and not too long, so after 4 hours I arrived in Ballina, where I just managed to check in to the hostel before I got picked up by the next work-experience - quite an embarrassing misunderstanding for him:) Well, I checked out again, and when shopping was done, we caught the ferry to Ballina West and drove out to the farm.(the fi...

He has taken me a lot around in the area in his car, and since the weather has been quite bad, I had not much work to do on the farm.

So after a god start of the day I was ready to head for the city-boost. The first days here I went around in the city a bit, walked and walked a lot, and have within two days seen everything worth seeing.
