Got to surfers at lunchtime and got a shuttle to the yha on main beach. It was in a really good location on this swanky marina with one of the most exclusive shopping centres opposite and the only versace hotel in the world! On tuesday we went into the centre and had a look round the many shops and as the weather was so nice at last we thought we would take advantage of the beach, however we sat for about 10 mins before the heavens opened and we had a thundersto...

We got to brisbane on wednesday where we were met by helens boyfriends cousin Jo, who kindly let us stay at her house for a few nights. It was nice to sit in a proper car at last and even better to have a private room with an ensuite shower and a lush pool in the garden!! They also have 3 cute puppies who seem to love jumping up and grabbing anything megan has on her clothes! Thursday we went into the centre and looked around the main shopping centre before walk...

Tony apologised and let us stay and have the same room to ourselves the next nigh...

Anyway still in sydney and after a lovely day on thursday of pure sun we woke up friday to dull and wet, standard!! Caught the train out to bondi junction which would have been really nice in 30c sun but it w...
