well we've continued our journey up the coast from port macquarie through a very quiet place called coffs harbour. we had booked a couple of nights here and really didn't do much but lay beside the pool and visit the beach. we then travelled up to a cool beach town called byron bay. here we experienced our 1st nightmare...we were lying on the beach soaking up the sun mid afternoon and the sky began to gather cloud, as the evening set in it turned grey and even rained!!!! :( anyway, enough of that - don't want to make you guys feel good. the following day we hired a couple of bikes and took a cycle round the bay up to lighthouse point where we had hoped to see some whales. unfortunately no whales but a beautiful view as we stood at australia's most easterly point. checked out a live acoustic band the last evening which was pretty cool. next destination - surfers paradise! xxx
