After Fraser Island we returned for a night at the hostel on Rainbow Beach back on the mainland. We had a great evening being entertained by Nathan Cane, a bit of an upbeat Newton Faulkener. He was exceptionally good and quite a few of us bought his CD!
Next stop was Byron Bay. I was looking forward to this but unfortunately the schedule we were on meant that we didn't arrive until about 3.30pm and we only had one night there before having to leave early next day. Many of us would have liked another night here. The town is very vibrant and has a gorgeous beach at the end of it. There are good shops, bars and restaurants and lots of live entertainment. Unfortunately, because of a time change, me and Dagma didn't wake up in time for the 5.15 meeting to watch the sunrise ... long story but by now I'm getting a bit blazee about sunrises to be honest. Hey Ho!
After Byron Bay we headed further south to Spot X, and surf camp where, there reckon, they would get us all surfing...hmmm... It was great to get in the sea at last, no dangers here. The surf was good and after some great tuition we were all up for giving it a go .. .and.... I DID IT! Yey. Although I don't think it will be a sport I will pursue. It was great fun and very tiring. Photo;s were taken and it was good fun watchin the photo display that evening. Most of us managed to get up at some point. This was the last proper evening of the tour. The group was brilliant, lots of lovely people. And we had a few games to mark the end of a great trip. (photos will probably follow!!)
