Coffs harbour, A coastal resort town which is also famous for its bananas and fishing. Its located on Australia's holiday coast, where the mountains meet the sea, 570kms north of Sydney and about 350kms south of Brisbane. Coffs harbour hadnt quite got the famous reputation of Byron Bay and nimbin but we were had a far greater time here that the forementioned. With a good hostel and some friends as usual, we settled in straight away. After a long day getting o...

Byron Bay, the legendary stop off on the east coast! We arrived in byron bay full of expectations accompanied by our close 'flash-packer' buddies Caroline & Barry. Byron seemed a very chilled affair whth lots of hippy'ish style to the people, shops and bars.

Basically amazing if you have the cash to flash but if your doing it on a budget its a bit like torture!! But we did really love it here as we spent our time looking at the flash cars and nice apartments and chilling on the beach. The best thing about our stay was the hostel, or lack of it should I say....When we got there w...
