It didn't stop raining once through the night, so again, we had to pack up a soaking wet tent! Once packed though we went back top the light house and this time we saw loads of dolphins in the sea. The rainbow also came back and we got chance to get a photo of it with our now charged camera! Of course th rain soon followed so we got back in the car to head North to Queensland and the Gold Coastwhere we planned to stop, it was only about 80km so it shouldn't take ...

We woke up again to more sodding rain so with nothing much to do we decided to do all our washing. With everything in the wash we did our food shoping for the next few days. It had brightened up by the time we got back so we hung our washing out which obviously was the best way to ensure that we would have on and off rain for the rest of the afternoon.

We went for chicken, cheese, asaragus and pasta. It was de...

There was one really old kangaroo who was blind and had really soft fur - we called him the 'wise one'. Next up was the koalas, there was about 8 in total and were just ...

Road trip started today! Packed the car and off we went up the Pacific Highway. We had planned to head up to Port Macquarie, a good 3-4 hour drive. Dave did the first leg of the journey and after 2 hours we stopped at a rest area and had our butties, courtesy of Subway. Claire's turn to do the second half of the journey and we got to Port Macquarie nice and safe, a good half hour later. Pitched our tent on a caravan park, right by the sea and after strugglin...
