We have reached the sun and heat! yay! We have been having a fun time relaxing on the beach and with people at our hostel. Byron bay is pretty good with big waves on the beaches and a shipwreck. Again we have met people from back home and also lots of people we met in new zealand which is nice. Unfortunately now we are more north everyone is very tanned and i am not. Before byron bay we spent a night in newcastle before a long overnight bus ride. We stayed with some of molly's family and it was really good and got to do some washing and eat a roast dinner!!

We are in Byron for two more nights before heading north to surfers paradise and to see my cousin rachel
