We were woken up extremely early today to go for our second surf (the instructors go out at 5 am!) only to found out there had been rats in our room during the night - EW! Anyway, we had some brekkie and headed for the beach. The current was seriously strong today and I could really feel it, I surfed for a while trying not to get washed out to sea (!) and packed up ready to get back on the bus. I brought some boardies so I could complete the surfer gal look (haha...

Woohoo, we left Barrington today and made our way up to Crescent Head. We stopped for lunch in the town where they were having celebrations for the Queens Birthday like duck racing! Slightly surreal... Anyway we moved on to Surf Camp; a very cool place by the beach (again, isolated) where we were taught how to surf. We were given wetsuits and boards, taught all the basics and thrown in! To my surprise I absolutley loved it, it was awesome. It was hard work and I ...

We stayed in Beachhouse hostel which was surprisingly FAB! It was very cheap and certainly looked it from th...

Bondi. Ew. Today we packed up from Base in the City and headed for Bondi. The weather at the moment is 100% awful; raining heavily 24/7 and we'd spent so much time in the city we decided it was time to move on. We got to Bondi and checked in to the slighty skanky 'Bondi Sands'. I was in fits of laughter for a good few hours as it was POURING and everything we read was like 'Bondi, the best beach in the world', 'Top Ten Things To Do In Australia, No. 1 Bondi', 'Su...
