Well we coudnt have been further from the truth when we presumed the greyhound bus wouldnt be as bad as the buses in Asia. Although the road conditions are better the bus itself isnt! No room to move in the tiny seats, temperatures constantly changing between hot and cold, and the awful smell of too many people in too small a space, not good! To make it worse when we stepped out of the bus station having hardly any sleep, we were met by a cold, cloudy and wet Mel...

We woke up feeling slightly worse for wear, and decided that today wasnt going to be productive. But lucky for us we packed the night before (yes we're finally learning). Although we were only in Sydney for a short time we did alot and this was evident by how tired we were. As we were waiting for the taxi to pick us up from the hostel, Sam fell asleep, when we were sat at the Greyhound station waiting for the bus, Sam fell asleep, and for the majority of the bus ...

We arrived in Sydney and checked into the hostel that Shaun, Lynsey and Critch (the guys we traveled Asia with) were staying, and had a chilled night.

We got the Greyhound down and after checking into our hostel headed straight to the beach where we spent the day sunbathing. On the way home we had a look around the shops and went and got changed. We ...

For the New Year celebrations, Juan had arranged for everyone to go camping in Bryon Bay. At first we were a bit dubious but after Fraser Island we thought this would be easy, plus were on a powered site =) We were booked in for 3 nights but due to work etc most people only stayed for New Years Eve, so the first night was a girly one! We had pre-booked but the campsite was packed, so we had to drive around for a while through the 10+ fields before we eventually f...
