Hello from Sydney. Think the last update took you up to Byron Bay so I'll give you a run down of all since then. From Byron we headed down to Coffs Harbour where we spent a couple of nights - not much there but we were at a good campsite with awesome pool!!! Next stop was Port Macquire where we went to the local Koala hospital which was pretty cool but having decided there wasn't much else there and also not a lot in Newcastle which is the next big pla...
