15 – 25th October. Wingham. - Pickaxe, wallabies and literature, I’d visit that shop. And so the ever delightful Greyhound bore us five hours south from the industrial banality of Grafton to Taree which, if anything, looked even worse. Needless to say we’re beginning to appreciate why the majority of backpackers jump straight from Sydney to Byron, if not Brisbane. It’s with great pleasure , and not a little relief, that I can report we only remained in ...

October 6 – 15th. Fairweather Farm, Nymboida. - Rain, cabins, rain, Russel Crowe, rain, Daphne, a little sun, that which comes from a cows behind, rain, mating snakes, RAIN, rain, dingos, pancakes…rain…unlikely fire…plus another downpour of the wet stuff in a place far, far away.

Initial impressions were ...

September 10 - 13th and 16 - 24th. Kijiri community, Mullumbimby. - Bouncy kangaroo comin' down the valley. Our next WWOOF host, our first in NSW, took some prolonged travelling to reach - a three hour coach south from Brisbane to Byron Bay, a three hour wait there that due to the heavy rain we mostly spent in the bus shelter, a hour and a half coach south-west inland to Lismore and then only another hours wait until our host collected us from the bus stop ther...
