When we arrived in Surfers Paradise, we were quite shocked to say the least. It was totally not anything like either or us had expected and is very American with loads of high rise buildings and hotels. I think it may have been at one point, with the beach so long and plenty of surf, but its very commercialised now! None the less, we still had a great time and can see why people like it there. Our campsite was in the middle of loads of high rise hotels and looke...

We arrived in Murwillumbah to watch the WRC Rally on the Thursday and chilled around the van. We hadn't organised tickets or anything, so we had to walk into the town from the Campsite the next morning to see where we got them. We had a little walk around and a few beers but couldn't work out how we got tickets. We ate lunch, had a few more beers and then went for a walk. We came to the massive field where all the food tents and stuff were located and worked ou...

We could see dolphins playing in the surf and loads of...

We found a campsite and went for a little walk into the town. The place is full of hippies and in some ways was a little scary but cool. Back at the campsite, Ant was standing outside the van when a bird flew really l...

On the second day in Coffs Harbour we went ot a place called the 'Pet Porpoise Pool' where they have Dolphins, tiny penguins and seals. We played catch with the dolphins for a while before getting pictures taken having a kiss on the cheek from both seals and dolphins - ahhh how tute! They then did a really good show including both animals doing all sorts of tricks and we got to feed them after. During the show, a couple of seaguls were hanging around whining 'm...
