Day 132 Today Tom and Elaine took us to Bondi beach. It was so weird on the way there, we could see Harbour Bridge and Sydney Opera house. Bondi was pretty cold but there were alot of people surfing. They have a swimming club there with an outside swimming pool. when the wave's crash high enough, the sea water goes into the pool, i bet it was freezing. The people who swim there are called the Bondi Iceburgs and to become a member you have to swim with the club 3...

Day 129 Today the Oz Experience bus was taking us to surf camp at Arrawarra Beach. Because the journey between Byron Bay and Sydney is so long we have a compulsary stop there where we pay $45 for accomodation and food and we get a free 3 hour surf lesson. Wehn we got there, we were greeted by a surfer dude with blonde dreds and shades. We were shown round and found ourselves sharing a container with Petra and Martin from our bus. There were only 8 people on our ...

Day 128 Today we went on a tour to Nimbin which is like Australia's version of Amsterdam!

We'd been going for 5 minutes when we saw our first pod of whales. It was amazing to see them so close and a...

Day 126 We were so annoyed this morning! If you read the last entry you would of heard how we planned to watch the sunrise from Cape Byron. Well we got up at 6 and waited for the taxi for hald an hour until we realised it wasn't coming. The hostel ordered it the night before and the reception was closed so we couldn't call them. So we went back to bed until 10 and then went into the town. Byron Bay is a really relaxed town with alot of hippies and surfers. It's ...
