A bit of a mad driving day again today. We are under a bit of pressure to get to Sydney by Thursday before handing back our van AND we need to hit summer bay also (and more than likely stay a night there before getting up to watch them filming Thursday morning!). We said goodbye to our little friend Claire and hit the road - stopping off in Coffs Harbour for lunch and a pic with the big banana!! We drove through Coffs for a look but didn't stop off to do any oth...

Not a whole lot went on today. Got up really early due to some bush turkeys which are located in a forest behind our van the little feckers. Had a quick breakie with our little friend Claire who was 2 and camped next to us! We headed to beach at about 10am for some sun - was a really lovely day. The sky was blue and the sand was hot! Loads of surfers in water also, would love to take it up, although the waves today weren't massive. Looking forward to seeing them...

We drove into surfers paradise and gold coast. Going into surfers, you are greeted by sky rise buildings, hotels and apartments and about 25k...

Early start today again for us - our aim initially was to go to Australia Zoo (home or ex-home of Crocodile Steve, Steve Irwin!). I always watched this guy growing up, jumping from boats and trucks onto all sorts of animals! He was a mad mother f**ker but his efforts really show today in his zoo. We stopped at the big pineapple in Nambur which is actually closed for renovations but we came all this way and we weren't being disappointed!! So over the fence it was...
