Day 61- Sun 9thOur Greyhound bus was at 8.30am and it took 5 hours to get to Byron Bay. As we were leaving Coffs Harbour it started to rain and we prayed it would not be following us up the coast. We were dropped off in the centre of town, could tell instantly that it was full of surfer types and had a chilled out atmosphere. The high street was cluttered with tour operators, internet cafes and funky shops. We got a cab to the Byron Bay Beach Resort which we soon...

Day 60- Sat 8thWe were hungover today so didnt get up till late. Whilst we were out last night a guy had been put in our room, he was really nice and very neat (we thought he must be gay!) When we finally arose we went for lunch at the Hog's Breath which is a chain much like the Harvester back home. Then we headed to the beach for a little time of sunbathing. It was a lovely beach and there were only a few people there. Coff's has a busy harbour mainly for yachts...

Day 59- Fri 7th Our checkout was not at our usual early hour so we had a bit of a lie in. We were getting the Greyhound to Coff's Harbour which was a seven hour journey.

We were put in a 6 bed dorm but there was no one else in there. We didnt have much time until we were ...

Day 58- Thur 6th It was another early start this morning as we were up waiting at the greyhound stop by 7.30am.It was only a two hour bus journey to Newcastle where we would be staying for one night. Newcastle was a small town but it was what I would describe as new with a few big developments being built near the wharf. It was quiet as we walked through the streets to the YHA hostel. This hostel was just as nice as the one in the Blue Mountains, it had a really ...

Day 56- Tues 4th We were up and out of our hostel by 7am today to get the Oz Experience bus to the Blue Mountains. We had a nice driver who was also our tour guide. He seemed to be very knowledgeable especially about aboriginal history. Our first stop was at a camping site/clearing that was in the national park. We saw grey kangaroos grazing and it was nice to see them in their natural habitat. Our next stop was to a small town nearby to get breakfast and then it...
