J: We visited Australia Zoo and took a walk about it. We wanted the guys to see some of the local wildlife, as unbelievably they hadn't seen a Roo yet. We found Roo's, Koalas, Crocs etc but unexpectedly we saw Tasmanian Devils, they are funny little cat/bear looking creatures. They were ravenous for the raw chickens the keeper was feeding them. We also went round the arachnid section and in the Australian Tarantula tank was a tiny baby mouse clearly being the di...

J: When we woke up we were overlooking a stunning lake with the sun rising up on the horizon. I knew it was a great spot last night, honest. After eating breakfast and using the facilities there, it was still really early in the morning and as we went to leave the camp site the office still didn't have any staff in it, so we got the camp site on the house, it was great value for money. S: Yuri was excited to reach Hunter Valley. We booked in for both wine tas...

J: So we left Nimbin behind us with some fuzzy memories. We headed to Coffs Harbour as there is a Sky Pier there and as Yuri has a fear of heights this was a good stop. It is a bridge that sticks out from the cliff and overlooks the harbour below, it was beautiful up there and Yuri was really surprising calm up there. We then started the Waterfalls Way drive through the outback. We drove up the mountain and passed waterfalls as we drove, we found one that we loo...

S: After our epic morning of surfing and feeling very chuffed with ourselves, we drove to a little place called Nimbin. We found a campsite with a swimming pool - although it was too cold to swim. We walked around the town which was very hippyish and some people looked like they had been stuck there since the 60's J: This was a very laid back town, and in Australia that means it was horizontal in bed. We found the only tavern in the town which had a few more...

S: So the guys survived their first night of roughing it at the road side. Everyone had a good night and we were all ready to rock and roll. We took them to the lighthouse walk, and showed them the most easterly point of mainland Australia. It was a beautiful walk and we even made to it Captain Cooks look out site. So after roughing it the first night we decided to get a camp site and the only one available was a little rustic. (Me and James thought it wasn't to...
