Pasta, and more pasta Today we left the Byron Bay Beach Resort and went to a hostel called Backpackers Inn on the Beach, as we wanted somewhere more central for our last night. The hostel was really nice, and it's a shame we were only there for one night. I spent most of the afternoon sunbathing on the grass by the pool, and the girls went into town at different times. In the late afternoon I walked to the shops to use the Internet, and then came back and got re...

The grasshopper tour to Nimbin We got up this morning to meet the minibus to take us to a local town called Nimbin, which is a hippy town known for being 'alternative'. The bus was about half an hour late, which wasn't a good sign! When it did arrive it was an old fashioned van, covered in different colours and hippy symbols. The first stop was to Nimbin itself, but before we got there the driver stopped the the van and told us how the town got its reputation. B...

Coyote girls...and guys! We did some planning this morning, and then the three of us left Angie and walked all the way along the beach and followed the trail around the coastline to the Byron Bay lighthouse.

We managed to get to a point that was parallel with the lighthouse but couldn't work out how to reach it, so we gave up and went down to the bea...

Even though it was quite cloudy, and we could hardly see the other side of the beach, we decided to sunbathe as it was still hot. There were loads of crabs all over the beach that kept digging holes in the sand with their claws. When it started raining and we had sand blown all over us we finally gave up and walked back to the lodge. Later we went for a wa...

"Get naked, it's great!" Another early Greyhound journey this morning, to Byron Bay. We arrived at about 1.30pm in the town centre, which on first impression seems exactly like the surfer towns I imagined Australia would be full of. We took a taxi to the Byron Bay Beach Resort where we're staying for the next four nights. We were a bit worried about what it would be like, as we're not paying very much for what the website says it has. It's fine though ...
