Us in Oz
Hello everybody, sorry we haven't written anything in a while, we've been busy! We're now in Byron Bay. We had a good time in Brisbane, we went to Stradbroke island which was really nice but a bit windy. It was a lot bigger than we thought and we had no idea where to go, but luckily a nice lady stopped and gave us a lift up to the pretty beaches which was cool. There's meant to be loads of dolphins there but it was too windy so we didn't see any :( oh well. Then we went to a place called Surfer's Paradise, it was really touristy but the beach was awesome and i managed to get a nice bikini that actually fit me!! While we were there we joined many other tourist and went to a waterpark which was really fun, but we were quite sore for days afterwards. As I said we're now in Byron Bay which is lovely, and the most easterly point in Australia! The other day we got up at 4:45am to catch a bus up to the lighthouse to watch the sunrise, it was beautiful I took millions of pictures! Yesterday we went to a place called Nimbin which has a Mardi Grass which is a whole weekend devoted to hemp! It's basically a protest against hemp being illegal, not just for smoking but for making stuff out of it as well. The whole place was full of hippies, and even though there were police about everybody was smoking, there's even an Amsterdam style cafe which you can smoke in. There was also loads of live music and the hemp olympics, which included bong throwing and joint rolling competitions! It was very bizarre, and of course we didn't smoke at all!? We still haven't had a go at surfing yet (we will soon) but we've been bodyboarding which jim is obsessed with now. We're going to stay here for a for a few more days and then we're heading on down the coast again, possibly to Coffs harbour. Speak to you soon
Nat and Jim
