Oh lord... what a start to the East Coast!
We are on the move and are travelling up the East Coast on 'Oz Experience' buses. Our first night was in the middle of no-where, no phone signal within hours or come to think of it nothing for miles apart from tree covered mountains and the little place we stayed in! It was pretty much a proper hill-billy place with a little too much wildlife for us!
Here is the website of the place..... http://www.thesteps.com.au/
On arrival there was a wolf spider in our room and our driver found a red back spider (deadly) ahhh not a good start! The surroundings were beautiful and we saw wild kangaroos. The 'entertainment' area was made of logs and corrigated iron and there was a big camp fire and 2 'hot tubs' (holes in the ground, no jets!). The hill-billies were laughing at us because we couldn't bare the 100's of flies on us so we were jumping all over the place like a couple of out patients!
There was a natural water river so we went in that to play but then the heavens opened and the biggest tropical storm boomed down. It was amazing to watch the lighting so close and strike the trees on the side of the mountain. When that blew over we joined a pizza challenge! They have a big pizza oven made of stone and we got to make our own pizzas. Emilie tampered with the scoreboard so it appears she ate 25 slices of pizza, the most out of the whole camp!
We got back in the river until Lauren met an eal and swiftly bolted. We then got in the hot tubs which is water they heat over a fire then pour in. We couldn't face sleeping in the skanky house so we stayed up as late as we could round the fire, drinking goon and listening to some hill billy on his guitar... apparently he didn't know our requests of Justin Timberlake sexyback and Britney Toxic!
It was a really funny day and night and we're glad we got to experience it but we will not be making a return visit!
Night 1 of the East Coast complete so back on the bus and off to a surf camp.
Until next time... see ya!!
Lots of Love
Em and loz
