... stranded. No one would ever find us! The road system here is interesting to say the least. For those of you old enough to remember back to the 50’s, when the first expressways in the US were being built, Australia is at that point. There will be a stretch of expressway, then a section through small towns, then even gravel in places. Nothing has a coherent name or ...

... the silence of Refuge Bay one cold damp evening. The lower Hawkesbury is indeed beautiful, which compensated for the weather somewhat.<br>We visited Brooklyn to stock up on supplies but found the shopping very limited as were the facilities. After shelling out $8 each for a shower which kept on cutting out the hot water, and failing to find anyone who could re-fill our empty gas bottle, we took off back to the bush again. Brooklyn has a strong bogan feel to it ...

... hoover on the spot is quite remarkable. When they want to move quick they just flik their tail fin - you hear a crack in the water and then they are gone. They are beautiful, beautiful creatures! :-) Fish Rock is without a doubt a worldclass dive site and by far the best dives on this trip so far! Thanks Peter - for mentioning the place and for taking time out to come and dive with us! :-) Tisdag 2009-03-24 till fredag 2009-03-27 Världsklass dykning vid Fish Rock Fish Rock ligger ...

... a 17 year old girl. It was nice to see that it isn't just an english sportsman's problem. I spent the afternoon and sunset on the beach, which was quiet and beautiful. Then the evening was spent playing a competitive game of monopoly with 7 others in the hostel from all around the world. I came 5th out of 8, which wasn't bad. I also made an executive decision to start proper budgeting or I would run out of money. From here on in, I will be eating a lot of bread, peanut butter and jam.

... for swimming. Arrived in Wamboin on the 9th and it was freezing!!! Temperatures dropped to about 4-5 degrees at night so there was no sleeping in the van here! We cleaned out the van (quite a job by the way) and then spent our time in front of the fire reading. Ah, such bliss. Finally arrived home in Kiama on Saturday 12th, safe and sound after a very fun first caravan experience for both of us. Looking forward to our next trip. See ya - Kev & Carol

... ocean was a fun dive for us to get familiar with the water and luckly the visibility was quite clear, so I took the water proof camera down and got a few shots of some marine life. The only thing somewhat exciting was a huge stingray. The second dive down we were to do more skills that we had practiced in the pool so I didnt take the camera down figuring it would just be in the way. As soon as we dive down there is a sea turtle ...

noch 11 tage im paradies!!! ich bin gestern in den bus gehuepft und 4 1/2 stunden richtung sueden gefahren. jetzt bin ich in coffs harbour. hier habe ich wieder ein nettes zuhause gefunden. eigentlich noch schoener, als damals bei meiner avis-chefin ros. mein gastgeber ross ist mitte 40 und wohnt in diesem riesigen haus mit pool. in der einliegerwohnung wohnt eine frau um die 40 und ein zimmer im haus ist an gigi, einen tiermedizinstudenten ...

... quite unpleasant. The dog was so good natured but too big and we decided there and then to not have a dog until we retired . We still had no table for Morrison (left in the garage) and the table also serves the purpose of making a bed for us so for the second night, now with a dog, we had to sleep seperately and uncomfortable and miserably. Im painting a dim picture but its accurate. We delivered Jessie back to owners in the morning ...

... to what he may have indulged in, which was confirmed when he asked us if we Rave. Then LUCKILY our bus pulled up and he grabs both of TJ's bags and starts running off towards the bus (he was trying to be helpful and nice) but the bus driver did not like him. He could tell he was really out of it and refused to let him on the bus (but luckily it was just us going on the bus, although when the bus driver asked if he was a friend of ours - since he brought TJ ...
