June 8th (Monday) - Day 99 - SydneyWe had to catch a really early bus. Shockingly there were not many buses from Tea Gardens. We were very early for the bus so ended up waiting around in the rest stop for almost an hour. Once we got going it was not long until we were in Sydney. The place instantly took me and I knew I was really going to love Sydney and everything about it. It was also nice to see a large city again. I seem to be drawn to them. The towering sky ...

June 6th (Saturday) - Day 97 - Tea GardensAfter breakfast outside on the patio, the 4 of us jumped in the car and went for a drive around Tea Gardens and the surrounding area. The place was tiny, a few shops and one hotel. We quickly crossed the river and were in another little village. Again it did not take long to see all of it. We took a ride around the sand dunes where we could see the entrance to the river. We then took a ride down the coast stopping every s...

June 4th (Thursday) - Day 95 - Coffs Harbour and Port MacquarieOur bus was not until the afternoon so we went for a long walk around Coffs Harbour.

June 3rd (Wednesday) - Day 94 - Coffs HarbourGot the bus etc etc and checked in, then walked down to the harbour. Whales had been going by that morning so we went to see if we could see any. There was a nice little walk out to a huge rock at the end of the harbour. We spent a good half hour looking out to sea but could not see any whales. We then had the long walk back and the even longer walk into the main town area. The place was small but really spread out. We...

June 1st (Monday) - Day 92 - Surfers Paradise and Byron BayOur bus was not leaving until midday so we had to find something to do for a few hours. The one thing we had not done was climb the Q tower. We went to buy the tickets and I randomly flashed my backpacker card to see if there was any discount and we got the student rate. Heaps of money saved we jumped in the lift. It climbed 87 floors in 49 odd seconds it was so quick. I tried to jump in the lift and bare...
