Day Fifteen - July 21st, 2013 Noosa The air bed is ah-maze-ing! Best night of sleep so far. We had a lazy Sunday morning with avocado on toast, and then got ready to explore a bit of our surroundings. We cycled into Noosa (amazing wide cycle lanes here - the whole town is very bicycle friendly) and onto Hasting's Street which we loved. All the little cafés were alive with Sunday brunchers (how happy I am not to be working in the restaurant any more!) and the ...

Day Fourteen - July 20th, 2013 Kirra Beach to Noosa Today started off smoothly enough - we've got the packing down to a T, and after a spot of breakfast (back to the porridge), we headed off for Noosa! The car had been getting a little hot yesterday, but we figured it was from all the stop-start city driving we'd been doing.

Day Thirteen - July 19th, 2013 Kirra Beach/Coolangatta We were awoken around 3am by the rain hitting the canvas, and Elliot dashed out to bring in our towels and other clothes we had left to dry in the 'clear night'.

A very welcome change after 12 days of porridge. The strange people on the site next to us had ...

Day Twelve: July 18th, 2013 Byron Bay to Kirra Beach We found a bar showing Origin last night so grabbed some food and settled in. NSW fought well but Queensland clinched it 12-10 to make it eight years running. Not the outcome Elly was hoping for. Woke up this morning and followed our now familiar pattern of packing up. I sort the inside of the tent, rolling up sleeping bags and folding blankets, while Elliot deals with the organisation of the car. We're pret...

Day Eleven - July 17th, 2013 Byron Bay Rain always sounds louder from the inside of a tent, so I awoke to what I thought to be a torrential downpour, but was in actual fact a light shower. We decided that as we hadn't been too impressed with Byron Bay so far, and the morning seemed to be brightening up, we would tackle our HUGE pile of laundry and hang it out to dry in the sun. Not having any money on us for the campsite laundry, we walked into town and had a g...
