From there it was up to Brisbane to meet up with Ivy, Heather and her girls. We were very kindly put up by Ivy. They were kind enough to show us around the city a bit, including the crazy beach that they have made on the river banks in the middle of the city!!! (Seemingly driving an hour to the beach is not acceptable here!!!!) We also got taken up to Mount Coot-tha where we saw the sun set and the city turn into lights. It was a bit mad seeing how much the riv...

It was then back coastward to check out Nambucca Heads, where we decided to stop at Shelly Beach.....Phil decided it was a nice spot for a walk, whilst Shane read the shark warnings and decided on a swim!! Luckily we both survived and then headed off to our next campsite. From there we hit the Waterfall Way, where the most impressive was Ebon Falls, and it was also a lovely drive as at the higher altitude there was evidence of autumn, with some lovely reddy, or...

Despite being sceptical at first, it really is a pretty special area. The view points are pretty amazing. We checked out a couple of view points, Wentworth Falls, before hitting the most known attraction, the Three Sisters. We camped in the middle of all the trees that night, before setting off the next morning to check out ...

Was a bit co...

After a couple of days catching up with our mates from Central America, we hit the road again. From Sale we headed down towards Lakes Entrance, there is again some lovely driving along the beautiful coast. Our highlight this time was being able to buy fresh bugs off the boat, these are a type of seafood which have a lovely white meat in them like crab. That night we had a real Ozzie style surf and turf....that was kangaroo steaks and bugs cooked on the bonfire......
