Comfort Inn Aquatic Port Macquarie

... to come down a bit harder but I decided to do a quick walk around the break wall, which was composed of large painted rocks separating the camper van park from the beach. The guidebook even named this the 'people's gallery', and it was actually the only thing I saw in Port Macquarie because it rained non-stop for the next two days. <br>I was picked up by my couchsurfing host, Paula, a 42 year old woman who had two older children and ...

... some time. We took away a lot of good memories from Hat Head and when we did eventually leave it made us all a little sad. I hope not too many people read this because we&#8217;d like it to be the same when we go back. And we will.<br><br>Thank you Sharon and Jason for the recommendation, we owe you one.<br><br>Oh yeah, and Marc&#8217;s front tooth eventually fell out here in his sleep, after hanging around since we left home.<br><br>Dave and Fisun

... then up to millionaires row, with all the big houses and yachts parked out back. We picked up fish and chips along the estury and drank to Douglas Vale whilst watching the sun set. Just as we were heading back into port, two dolphins started swimming alongside the boat. They were lovely to watch, and it was the perfect end to a fabulous day. We left the boat pretty tipsy, and not at all ready for the 6hr bus trip to Sydney - why must Australia be so damn big!

... the quick way which entails springing up on the board in one fell swoop. I practiced that a couple times and was waiting around to learn the easy way... but Gnarly Wayne was kinda in lala land. I asked about the easy way, and he said - just go try the quick way. Um OK.... but why tease me with talk of the easy way? Back to the water. I got up on my knees, got many nose fulls of water. And Gnarly Wayne came over to critique me... seems I needed more legs and less arms ...

... allowed to wander the halls of the hostel, asking people to join in with his surf school, Kool Kats, apparently Byron's first. He actually guaranteed that you would ride a wave for 40 metres on your first lesson, so I thought it'd be a great idea. It took a little cajoling, but he managed to get Cat to decide to join in as well. And so we found ourselves on a bus to a local bay the next day. What we hadn't realised was that the bay was in Ballina, where someone had been ...

... was about a 5 minute walk to get to the sand (a little past Humpy's hut). This walk was a lot different in the light then it was last night. I didn't know what I was stepping on or ducking from the night before and now it all made a little more sense. Anywho, we got to the sand and then had about a 30 minute walk down to where we start surfing. The walk was just beautiful. This could be the most beautiful place I have EVER seen. Down the right was a tall ...

... Phil) was a self-proclaimed killer boogie-boarder who used to travel the south pacific to find the best waves, so God knows what he was doing in Texas! Anyway, he said that his hometown was paradise, with wide beaches and rolling waves, and finally I was getting a chance to see for myself.<br><br>En route we passed through Nambucca ...

... savons que toi tu aurais déjà été tremper tes pieds (en fait tout ton corps) Comme tu n'est pas du tout frilleuse : ) Dès le lendemain nous avons « hit the road » en direction de Port Stephens où nous y somme resté 2 jours À peine arrivé à notre Campement que nous avons été dans le petit village à la recherche de planche de surf pour Christian Nous avons été référé à un petit magasin où il vend, loue des planches.

... to find Australia's famous Southern Cross, and usually we can have a look through the telescope, but sadly the clouds were building for an absolutley huge storm which began a few hours later and went on into the night - I have never heard thunder like it, or indeed seen lighning light up the sky quite so much in great forks accross the ocean - awesome!
