... zu den Dangar Falls. Dort, wo heute das Wasser hinabstürzt, gab es vor 19 Mio. Jahren noch einen Vulkan, ein Schild weist uns extra darauf hin, dass es zu dieser Zeit sehr viel gefährlicher gewesen wäre, hier zu stehen.<br><br>Wir wollen heute noch bis Byron Bay kommen und fahren weiter nach Norden. Schon in Ballina fällt mir auf, dass alle Motels ausgebucht zu sein scheinen, aber ich mache mir noch keine großen Gedanken darüber ...

... common room says no drinking after 10pm which is sad, and there are no power points so i cant sit in there and write my blog either. So its just me and my book and my cider which i cant open as i dont have a bottle opener. I ask around for an opener and luckily a nice girl called Beth 'has one in her van' and pops out to get it for me. Shes halfway through a bottle of wine and we get chatting and laughing about how sad this place is, and eventually I ...

... inside out, up around my torso. Only with Cecilia's frantic help did I mange to get my knickers back under wraps, though it was a struggle! And there was nothing "Marilyn Monroe" about it, I can tell you that much for certain! I can also happily report that there is no picture of the event ;) Anyway... we flapped around in the wind for a while and even ventured down the steep path (groaning in anticipation of the uphill return trip ...

... Sydney - and that they all have tickets for the ChristmasEve Cruise. Sarah really wanted us to go because we're really close to her now and despite us saying no cause we can;t afford it she brought tickets for us. Which is really really nice considering that they're not cheap. We hurried back to Aunty Lizs and got ready for the night. We arrived at the Darling Harbour for a drink and then the boat arrived. It was huge, it's a massive party boat. Inside was ...

... we're there. The property is up a steep drive and looks down over the valley. Cobaki means beautiful view in one of the Aboriginal languages, and it truly is beautiful, with views towards either end of the valley and a line of tall palms shading the veranda out front. We're only there about an hour when we spot a massive wedge-tail eagle soaring over the forest. The place is just idyllic. My cousin Kate and her husband Rob have a 4 month baby ...

... to take the wife beater off to get in to it! It was a feckin hard course too with a load of water, needless to say we lost a load of balls. Good banter though, especially when this dude told Leigh to stop walkin about in the long grass cause of the brown snakes there, supposedly the third poisoness in the world. That put him from walkin about in his bare feet! hehe

... or renovating hostels). They show us the front page of the local paper which features an article about them. It seems backpackers arriving at Coffs Bus Station have been getting harrased by local tramps for beer and cigarettes then getting beaten up when they don't comply. The police were doing nothing about it so they went to the local paper as it's bad for business and Coffs is basically a tourist town. After this we get chatting to an English guy who ...

Gem and i arrived in Coff's Harbour feeling very adventurous, so the first thing we did was book to go White Water Rafting for the next day. We travelled to the top of the River Nimboidan and spent the next 4 hours trying desperately not too fall out of the raft and into the rapids beneath! It was so much fun, 6 of us in the raft plus an instructor yelling at us the whole time - left! Right! Down! etc etc, it was a close call at some points but we all reached the ...
