So we left Adelaide on Tuesday and continued our road trip. We headed around the Fleurieu Peninsula which reminded us both of Blenheim in NZ as it is also a wine growing region and the surrounds were very similar. We drove to Cape Jervis where you could look across to Kangaroo Island - you could take a ferry across but we couldn't be bothered so we just looked and then headed on!!! We headed on to a beach called Christie's beach to check out the surf. When we...

After a brief catch up with our friend Alana in Woolongong, we set off over the mountains again towards Adelaide. The first night we stayed in a place called Wagga wagga (pronounced wogga wogga just to confuse), a small place of 45,000 people in the middle of nowhere. We went out for a bit of dinner and a drink, then hit the sack as we still had alot of driving ahead of us. We got up the following morning and after a quick breakfast got on the road again. Dri...

We stumbled across a place called Pacific Palms which is amongst the Myall Lakes National Park. It's an amazing spot with great surf, great beaches and beautiful surrounds. Although we were a bit reluct...

First stop in New South Wales was Byron Bay. Surprisingly enough Captain Cook has been here as well!

First day was spent on the beach surfing and in the town window shopping. The second day Mel cleaned the van wh...

The day after we had our surf lesson in Agnes Water we both felt inspired and hired a surf board and they are the photos you can see on our website, both making slow progress. The following morning we set off early (7am) to Fitzroy Reef Lagoon on the Outer Barrier Reef for a dive and snorkel, etc. This lagoon is one of the southern most points where you can access the reef and its gained a reputation for having very colourful coral so we were both looking forwa...
