So this morning we woke up at 8am to smash the free breakfast the hostel offers. After breakfast we once again started discussing options - 1) we will not do strawberry work with this farm, as its poor pay and very hard work. 2) the blueberry job near Coffs is a no go, simply due to the logistics of accommodation and getting to work etc. 3) due to all the uni students going back to school in Sydney, there is A LOT of work going. Dan has spoken to 3 different ...

So yesterday we got the bus up from Byron Bay at 6:45am to take us up to Mooloolaba. It took us first to Surfers Paradise (where I saw Snapper Rocks and Surfers main city centre) through to Brisbane, where we swapped buses and eventually made it Mooloolaba by 12 mid day. Having got off the bus we went and checked into the hostel, right on the other side of the road. We signed and discovered that 30 people from the hostel are working on the strawberry farm it's l...

So we woke up at 8am, probably as our body clocks are set to it after the last 3 months at Spot X.

Unfortunately by the time we got in the water the cross s...

It was so funny to hear who hooked up and stuff! I then spent most the rest of the morning packing all my stuff up, sorting my boards out like taking fins out etc and generally getting ready to leave. The surf was so crap no one was bothered about going out for a surf, and getting our...

I writing this a couple of days late as at the time I only had the time to bullet point the day. I had a really good sleep due to going to bed late the night before, so woke up feeling really good. I got up at 8:15am as usual and rushed breakfast, as I was told the surf was pumping. I got into the surf by 8:45am. I had so much fun as half the camp was out surfing, so it was as good as a social as a surf. It was 3ft ish with the odd 4ff set, but it quickly dropp...
