Hello hello hello ladies and gentlemen..........me and me mate Dave are currently living it up in Byron Bay, New South Wales. We arrived here last Saturday, since then we have been chilling on the beach by day and partying by night...the partying by night has involved some antics Neil would wish to forget!!!!! The partying by night has also caused Neil great physical pain in his bottom area....i fell over and smacked my tail bone!!!!! Byron Bay is a really chilled out, small place.....its got a fantastic beach. We have just come back from a big walk up to a lighthouse and Australia's most Eastern point...fantastic views. Since we have been here met loads more great people aswell as plenty of familiar faces from our East Coast Adventure. We are leaving here on Saturday and heading straight down to Sydney to experience some big city life!!!! We are now thinking of going to Melbourne for a couple of days too, just to check it out, coz we have heard loads of great stuff about it!!! oh........ how could i forget our trip to a place called Nimbin...its about an hour inland from here,,for some reason there is a loophole and smoking marijuana and taking of other drugs is not frowned upon!!! It was a funny day...we went with a guy called Jim!!! He organises an "alternative tour" he talks of his "experiences", plays you Jims favourite music!!! Takes you to see his mate Paul (the guy in the photo with the ridiculous pink shirt and John Lennon hair, truly chilled and hippy like??????!!!!!!). The visit to Nimbin was an experience!!! Visiting a museum, hash cafes, smoking shops...perhaps the highlight of the day was watching countless weirdos losing the plot!!!!!!!

Well before arriving in Byron Bay, after leaving Noosa we stopped over in Brisbane and Surfer's Paradise!!! We travelled to Brisbane from Noosa in a beast of a camper van called Wilma...we were chaufferred the by to Legends called Ashton and Chris!!! Brisbane was a really nice city, very modern with a young scene!!! It was the destination for our St Patrick's Day celebrations!!!! As you can see we all aquired some Lepricorn hats, which doubled up as tannoys/traffic cones....the reason for me being chucked out of the club!!! That aside we had a great Paddy's day, a real good crowd of familiar faces, we had a great laugh!!!

On leaving Brisbane we stopped at Surfer's Paradise.....very different from other parts of Oz... but good fun all the same. A very modern, touristy place...with a awesome beach and a wicked night life...we went out on two organised bar crawls which were really good!!! Surfer's also incorporated a visit to a water park!!!! A quality day out, Dave and I loved acting extremly immature for the whole day!!!!

So as you can see we have been busy...but im pleased to report that we have given up drinking and meeting women......instead we have taken to staying every night reading educational books!!!! Oh..................hang on a minute i think im lying...infact we are going out in about 4 hours.........

take care everyone, speak soon
