So today has been my final day in both Sydney and australia! Having completed the east coast trip in Sydney, it has been a fantastic place to finish and i am glad that i chose to do it that way! Sydney on the whole is a very nice place to be, its easy to see why its one of the most world renowened Cities on the planet! From the normal city scape to the peace of the botanical gardens and both Harbours. I managed to visit 3 of the main beaches in sydney Bondi, M...

So having actually forgotten to do a blog for Byron bay sitting in sydney i thought i better had. (Ill do the Sydney blog towards the end) So Byron aby is a really cool place, its full of hippies and is a very good place to relax. Not a vast variety of things to do apart from doing walks around the cliff faces and on the various beaches. Other than that not a lot to report for Byron apart from its very picturesque and relaxing. Good to relax before sydney.

So from the scenery of Airlie i travelled for 20 hours by bus to Brisbane. Luckily i managed to get quite a bit of sleep during the night so much so that we changed drivers twice and i dont remember either of them so must have been a good sleep. Brisbane was to be very different to how i have visited other places as its all about who you know and i was lucky enough to have an old friend living in brisbane who agreed to play Tour Guide! Mike and i went to primar...

So thought it was about time i did a blog. So since the last blog i have travelled to Airlie Beach, further south of Townsville. Having been highly recommended it by numerous people, both friends and fellow travellers i had high hopes for Airlie. I wasnt disapointed! The place is stunning. Very relaxing and more scenery that i can shake a stick at (never quite understood that phrase) This is the first place i have arrived where i have no further booked plans...

So left cairns at stupid oclock this morning to travel to Townsville, a smallish town further south. Caught the bus at 9:45 didnt arrive until 2:15 so not a short bus ride. The bus journey itself was fine though tiring, i always seem to start to fall asleep on buses. The bus arrived in townsville 1/2 hr late so i missed the free hostel shuttle bus not a massive problem but didnt have a clue where the hostel was or how to get there! Not a problem near the stop wa...
