Hey well I got into Sydney and straight away I was freezing my nuts off, it was so cold. I didnt see much of Sydney as Im doing that on the way back. I got the early bus to surf camp which was brill, we got up at 6am much to my dislike but once in the water it was brill. They taught you how to surf properly, and I managed to stand up a few times. The waves were so high and I got some brill shots of me at sunrise.

The next place we went to was the Byron Bay, this was party town, the beeches were great and the bar Cheeky Monkies was brill. I met loads of new peeps here and had a good laugh, we dance the night away. lol

Then on to Brisbane but to be honest there isnt much to do here but work, so I was out of there quick sharp haha.

I arrrived in Harvey bay on the 11th aug and booked a self drive to Fraiser island. This was the highlight of Oz for me, got to do some proper off road 4x4 driving, I was in my element, plus the four the fit Brit girls made it one hell of a trip. :) lol

Mckenzie lake is wicked, clear pure white sands and a fresh water, ice cold lake, as I found out when I jumped in lol. I havent got that many pics as my battery died the first day, but hopefully Ill be able to get some off the other people I was with. I can see why people fall in love with Oz, its like england but better weather and less people :)

I fly back to sydney tmrw, so today I went to see the humpback whales. just look at the pics and you will see how close they got, it was an amazing breathing taking sight. loved it :)

I had a bit of a money probelm, so thanks Pat for send the money mate, saved my life. Im off to South America on the 19th, which I cant wait for Im really ready for this adventure tour now...Inca trail here I come :)
