I had a really really awesome day finally the sun came out after another morning spent mooching about the beautiful town of Byron Bay it was surfing time again! There was 6 of us today but we had one really grumpy instructor! We were almost straight into the water today and it was ACE to see sun and NO rain! :) I didn't crash out too many times today apart from one spectacular wipeout when Simon (nice instructor who preteneded to be a wave the other day) decided ...

From Echo Point today I joined the Prince Henry Cliff Walk and followed this around the valley to Leura Cascades, here the path w...

It was a really really beautiful train ride from Sydney to Katoomba in the Blue Mountains yesterday the sun was out and there was a clear blue sky the whole way!
