G'Day all,

Since the last post in Brisbane, we have been mega busy. The cricket was very dissapointing, we came to the other side of the world, and we got a day of rain!!! We made the most of it though and at least we did get some play.

We then headed further down the coast to Surfers paradise, where we rented a beautiful six bed apartment with 3 girls. It was absolute bliss, air conditioning, sky tv, our own clean kitchen, two bathrooms!! Surfes Paradise lived up to its name, the waves were the biggest we've seen, we had a go at trying to ride some of them, Paul was a bit more successful than I was.

Next stop was Byron Bay, a little beach town which everyone we'd met on the trip had raved about. The sea was beautiful, the night life was great and was also the home to the most easternly point in Australia. From Byron Bay we took a day trip to Nimbin, the hippie capital of Australia. It was very strange town, met so many old hippies!! Whilst in Byron we did the highest skydive in Australia, 14,000ft up, with sixty seconds of freefall. It was unbelieveable.

We're now travelled a little further south to Coffs Harbour. We've spent two nights here so far, and have four to go. Spent yesterday jumping off a pier into the sea, before canoing up the river.

With love, x
