Once again boarded the greyhound bus to our next stop Coffs Harbour. Staying at the Hoey Moey - yes we are only staying at hostels with names that rhyme!
This place was extremely spread out- we were 1.5 hours walk from the centre and that only consisted of one main street that as we found out closed up totally at 4pm on a saturday- ghost town.
The first night we arrived we went out to the Hoey Moey pub and ended up playing pool with a guy from Sunderland and a very drunk ozzie guy. Headed back to our dorm when we heard footsteps outside- it was the old ozzie bloke trying to find our room walked past at least twice. As we were the only ones in the dorm we laid on the floor army style so he could not see us, i crept towards the window to see if he had gone and thats when i spotted the biggest spider i have ever seen!! After trying to be calm and then also getting charlotte to look we were petrified and forgot about the ozzie bloke and came screaming out of the room! Luckily a nice young man from down the corridor came to assist and caught the beast in a very large cup- we think it was a baby huntsman. As you can imagine we didnt manage to sleep much that night especially after finding another much smaller one in the toilet.
Our hostel was right on the beach so spent a whole day on there. Ventured over the Hoey Moey once again that evening for our evening meal and to watch a band, also got talking to Danielle from Melbourne who was just on holiday travelling by herself.
Met up with Danielle as she had offered to take us to the "Big Banana" the aussies apparently have some obsession with big things and have them all over the country. On the way back also went to a small market at the jetty. Caught the bus to Byron Bay and that is when we spotted another big thing- the "Big Prawn" two big things in one day!!
