Day 299 (Monday 29th September 08) Used the internet quickly again in the morning and then checked out. Went and parked by the marina and walked out and up onto one of the Solitary Islands. A nice view back over Coffs Harbour. Saw our first snake in the wild only just off the path. The couple that told us about the snake said they thought it was a tiger snake. Warned a few other with young kids as it was only just of the path in the long grass. Carried on back t...

Day 298 (Sunday 28th September 08) Made the most of the campervan park for the morning enjoying the sunshine.

Had a look around for some internet and then went and sat out watching the waves crash in down by the beach. It was then back to use the internet for Skype. Once we ...

Day 297 (Saturday 27th September 08) Woke up to find them setting up a market along by us, lucky we hadn't parked in the park where they were!

Day 296 (Friday 26th September 08) Following the guy's advice from the information centre as soon as we were up headed out to the Nightcap National Park. Pothole roads and then a 11km unsealed road. Very slow journey up to the Nightcap National Park. Getting the feeling that we are out in the middle of nowhere. Had to pass over a couple of bridges with water flowing over them and ended up in the car park. Noone else around so headed up the walking track to Prote...

Day 295 (Thursday 25th September 08) Looking a bit brighter this morning but still some drizzle for a while. Had something to eat and parked up for a while to read our books to see if it was going to brighten up. Luckily after a while it did so we decided to go back to Byron Bay for another quick look in the sun. Stopped on the way at Pat Morton's Lookout and went for a walk up the hill to see the view. Then carried on to Byron Bay. Much nicer in the sun, went s...
