Well, here we are in Byron Bay - the weather's been amazing although the sky's looking very overcast today so expecting some rain! Byron Bay is a small town on the East Coast - just south of Brisbane (which is our next stop). Yesterday we visited a place called 'Nimbin' with 'Jim's Alternative Tours' - Jim was a legend. It was hilarious although at the same time quite scary as Nimbin is Australia's Cannabis Capital - everywhere we went people tried to sell us drugs. We did get to see some impressive waterfalls though and visit some markets at a place called Bangalow! HAHA, thought this was a funny name! We're still sticking with the crew that we met on our first bus from Melbourne - so there's Megan and Dan who graduated from uni last summer, Claire who is 18 and going to uni in Sept, Eleanor and Emma who live ridiculously close to Emma in Yorkshire, Phil and Charlotte who are both off to uni in Sept (they are the cutest couple ever)! There you go - thought I would give you a rundown on some of the people you'll be seeing in facebook photos.

Before we arrived here we went to Surf Camp which was amazing fun! Borrowed wetsuits and boards and got some top quality tuition - not that it helped me in any way at all as I just couldn't manage to stand up. It's something that i'd love to try out again but the lessons are so expensive! I'd best head off but I'll be in touch soon!
