One guy left at 2am very quietly, but the other 3 left at 4am very noisily. So had a broken nights sleep. Watched Spartacus whilst wasting breakfast and spent an hour in McDs for wifi. We decided we were too tired to drive up to Port Stephens, so drove around Newcastle and took a nice stroll along the beach. The sand was quite littered and the waves were angry and zig zagging around each other. There were a lot of surfers which we watched for a bit. We ate ...

We slept in until 8.30am!!! Due to the nights noisy activities. Had a quick breakfast and left. We stopped at Byron Beach which was beautiful then headed out on our 650km journey. Garth drove most of the way. We stopped at McDs again for lunch (!!!!!) and the sat nav went a bit crazy, but I drove through a really beautiful part of New South Wales up to Coffs Harbour!

We arrived in Brisbane at like midday and found our hostel easily despite the ...

I'm ashamed to say I left writing this blog a week late and can't quite remember everything... However, we drove down to the sunshine coast. It was a lovely day and we stopped at a viewpoint where we ate a cold sausage sandwich before walking up a mountain on a very flat rock face to the highest point for miles. There was a steep drop one side where locals were climbing and abseiling. But you could see for miles and was a lovely view! We arrived in Noosa which...
