Ok so we last left you at surfers paradise. From there we drove upto Brisbane, now Brisbane is quite a big place so we expected there to be loads to see and do however it is mainly centered around business so that thought was dashed! We did take a wonder round and found a church which looked like a cartoon one in the middle of a building site as they were putting sky scrapers up around it, which made it look totaly out of place. There is a man made beach in the c...

We got to the campsite which was nice and cheap and got started on the endless washing we had! We spent the rest of the evening relaxing for the next few days of themes parks ahead of us. The following morning we went to wet and wild which is obviously a water park. We got there nice and early and as we had already purchased the tickets we got straight in. On the rides we went like big kids. The rest of the day followed more queueing in boiling heat and colling d...

Well as not planned we didnt end up getting to Byron Bay as the campervan swap was much later than we expected so it got dark pretty quick.

The harbour was a sale harbour for yachts which we spent ages at looking around dream boats and prices, some beautiful boats for the rich. We had a drive around al...

We headed up to Newcastle in hope there would be some campsites around so we could get settled for the night. Well as the rest of our trip that was an interesting task. We rang round about 10 campsites and most of them were full and the ones that werent were silly prices so we decided the only other option would be to stop at the side of the road!! We had been told people do it all the time so we felt a bit better about doing it but still! We looked around a few...
