Hello from Sydney...... We got to Sydney on the train pretty late in the evening after a looonnngggg train journey....We left Byron at 7.30am and arrived in Sydney about 9.30pm. It actually wasn't too bad a journey though and when we arrived at Home backpackers in Syndey they had messed up our booking so we got a private room for the night....lush. The next day was our one and only day to explore Sydney......and it rained all day! We ventured out though. To Kin...

Byron was where we got to do some much awaited surfing and it was AWESOME! We were here for two nights. Byron Bay itself it very boho and pretty small but what I imagined it to be like. It was nice. Although nothing to shout home about in my opinion but I see why people love it. Most things are on the same street which was nice. We had a wonder up and down but mostly did some organizing for our future activities at a travel agent. I'm also pretty sure ...

Hello from Surfers Paradise (Gold Coast).... We got to Surfers Paradise after a not too bad train and bus journey from Brissy. I'm not sure what I was expecting but the town itself was nice- a strange mix of high-rise buildings and beach. Definatly had a seaside town feel to it. We went for an exploring walk and saw a bit of the town. Then it was back to the hostel to get ready for 'The Outback Experience'! This was a show that our ex-employers at the lovely Emu...

We were only there for one night. A bit gutting but we had to sacrifice something and the need to surf was strong! We stayed at Base backpackers, the place was massive. Base has it’s own bar, which again was huge and about 1000 rooms (maybe a little exaggerated). We stayed in a confusing but lovely girls dorm and we met two great Swedish girls. We hadn’t as yet celebrated Kate’s birthday so we decided that given the fact that we didn’t have anytime to ...

Hello from Mooloolaba..... We arrived in Mooloolaba after a very short Greyhound trip. We were pretty knackered from our canoe trip in Noosa and had to hang around a bit to get the bus so was good the journey was so short! We were picked up by Mooloolaba Backpackers and given our tickets for Australia Zoo the next day. Not up to much this evening, just a much needed shower after 3 days camping which was AMAZING! It was a short walk the next day after a free b...
