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...

Day 294 (Wednesday 24th September 08) Walked around Brunswick Heads and while Mark was filling up the water a woman came and asked Em if we would help jump start her car.

Once we had had enough and it was getting too hot used the beach showers and then went to do our washing at the laundromat across the road. Soon had clean clothes and sheets again and went to try and cook...

Day 292 (Monday 22nd September 08) Much quieter night's sleep. Drove down to Surfers Paradise and found somewhere to park so we could have a walk around. No shops were open yet so walked down to the river and had a look around. For a treat went for a nice fry-up! Very good but neither of us could finish it! The shops were now open so Em was happy having a look around and bought a couple of tops. Mark not so happy! he he he. Walked down to the beach then along, a...
