The Oasis Resort And Treetop Houses Byron Bay

... the sky, casting a million specs of light on the backside of the swell coming in. Throw in a picnic breakfast on the grassy slopes of the peninsula and two groups of whales that were having a gay old time breaching the surface and playing about in the morning sun and you have yourself a fantastic way to start a day.

We lingered at the lighthouse to our hearts content and then hiked back into town to catch a day trip bus to Nimbin. Nimbin is a TINY ...

Funniest two photographs of the whole trip; hilarious No Smoking sign caption AND dog in Pope-Mobile! Plus, Live performance of Orphan Crab song! And the usual travel-related drivel...













Hello again!

Our journey now moves into the uncharted waters of Newcastle and Byron Bay, up the ...

... lots of surfers here. I have booked a tour through surfers paridise and Brisbane and then onto Fraser Island and the Whitsundays.

I have not done a greatr deal here other than a day at the beach and a day by the pool. I also have found a gluten free bakers and pizza place which is really good.

... nights in the wonderful TinBillies. That is sarcasm if your wondering. The rooms were small and cramped and after a room swap we managed to get one with a window and some nice room mates. However there is a deposit for everything, linen, cutlery, you name it there is a deposit. Something Matthew loved the most (sarcasm!). It also had a kitchen built like a sauna although i managed to cook us all spag bol!
We met one of our room mates a lad called Oli and invited him out. So whilst ...

... Sportlern beim arbeiten zu zusehen. Männer die nicht nur dem Ball hinterher rennen sondern sich mächtig die Köpfe einrennen danach aber wieder aufstehen als wäre nichts gewesen ist echt teilweise bis lächerlich aber auf jeden Fall atemberaubend. Keiner musste vom Feld getragen werden wie beim läppischen deutschen Fußball. Nach 2 Tagen hier geht's zu unserem nun wirklich letzten Ziel - Thailand wo wir noch mal 2 Wochen an weißen Stränden und in monströsen Shoppingcentern verbringen wollen.

... good and made me properly realise that I can have conversations and go out drinking with English people back home - but where else am I going to meet people like this?! On Saturday I went for a wonder to look at the beach. It had rained lots on friday night and apparently there was a storm brewing out at sea so the swell of the waves was huge. There were some hardcore surfers out there though, having a go. Most having pretty spectacular wipeouts!! In the ...

... and Deanne shopped and shopped till she dropped. The beaches turned out to be exceptional nice. The main beach (5min walk from our condo) must be 3 kilometers long, the water is crystal clear and much warmer than any water we've swam in yet. I read and body surfed and later in the day I entered into a swimsuit competition and won...joking on the last part of coarse...even though with my newly found skin color, my confidence is soaring and I am temted to go European with a ...

A few days ago Matt and I took a day trip down to Byron Bay which is just south of the border between Queensland and New South Wales. On the way down the weather wasn't great - cloudy and raining on and off. (After all there cyclone/tropical storm Ellie was about to make landfall just north of Brisbane and you could definitely tell!) But the great thing about rain in QLD is that it's almost always warm. You can easily stay outside during a rainstorm and not get chilled to ...

... for three quid? We remained optomistic and tried again to find a second job that would fit around working at Beach Suites. Lots of people were interested but could only offer the same hours and neither place could guarantee which days we'd be working. They couldn't commit to us so we couldn't commit to them. Catch 22 situation. We took the first job anyway because the money's good on the weekend and we start at 10am and finish at 2pm. $42 an hour on bank holidays and about $25 flat ...

15th December Ballina/Byron Bay Up at 6am and caught the bus to Ballina at 7 to pick up the camper that we'd organised until the 18th, picked up the camper and headed to Nimbin via Kyogle, Nimbin is a different world! A hippy town in the middle of nowhere, instant smell of "lang fags" when we got out of the van! Headed back to Byron Bay and parked up at a campsite before heading out into town to sample the nightlife ...
