On the road again! Next stop Byron Bay... After a small bus journey from Brisbane I reached this small hippy town by the beach, where everyone walks around with their shirts off carrying either a surf board or a spliff!! The town is filled with both young and old beach bums! I stayed in a hostel on the main street, right in the heart of the PARTY! My first impression of the hostel wasnt a great one! I was taken on a tour of Byron Bay by one of the members of st...

Surfers Pardise in an apartment by the beach! Sunshine, sea, sand and soccer!! After a great trip up North, I returned to Toowoomba and made it my home for 6 weeks!

If you dont there wouldnt be much to do! It was great to be around sports people in Toowoomba and I was given ...

I love flying, good job rea...

Challenger Sports Australia. There comes a time for all travellers to role their sleves up and get down to some honest hard graft. It was time for the work to begin... Ok so coaching soccer in the sun for 3 hours a day to some of the politest and most well mannered children I have ever had the pleasure to work with isnt exactly a hard graft! We had already enjoyed some fantastic hospitality from The Garretts in Northlakes and now it was to Camp 2, Moggill. A qu...
