Hello So far I've been to a couple of places on the East Coast and its really hot, really fun, really beautiful, there's really loads to do and I'm having a really good time. The only thing is I'm moving to fast, but at least I'm seeing loads. First I went to Byron Bay on an overnight bus from Sydney. Byron Bay is a great backpacking place and has a lovely beach.
