29th May 2009We left our campsite in Byron Bay by 10 and drove straight to Surfers Paradise, its not far, only about 45 minutes! Once we got to Surfers we parked up near the centre and had a wander around, we went to the tourist information and found out the nearest campsite was 5 minute drive to main beach so went back to the car and drove there. This campsite was much nicer and cleaner than the one we stayed in in Byron. We stayed inbetween to other Jucy vehicl...

27th May 2009 It took about 3 and a half hours to get here from Coffs Harbour, the last hour was tough as it was pitch black and the roads can be really bad out here. They have such sharp bends which arent lit up at all so you have to be so careful. There are alot of road accidents out here but you can see why sometimes.

We made our bed back into benches and using baby wipes had a shower sort of!! We then...

We left our hostel in Sydney at 9am then got the underground to Mascot to pick up our Jucy Campervan! After doing th epaperwork and being shown how it all worked we headed off! We have named our camper COLLIN!! We had plan to leave Sydney and head North straight for the East Coast but due to a lack of any decent maps, it took at least an hour longer than it should of!
