Byron Bay Resorts - Reviews and Rates

Today I relaxed on the beach, doing some reading and walked around the town whilst doing some shopping along the way. In the evening at the hostel i met two german girls; Nina and Nadia, we went to the common room and got free pizza for listening to a travel talk and then had free cheese and goon for afters. My first taste of goon (cheap backpac...

We are now in the state of New South Wales!

Unfortunately we only stopped here for less than twenty-four hours, which was a shame as it is a super cool place with lovely food, beaches and surf. Surfing here would be a great place to have learned. Anyway we made the most of our time here by having a curry at the Cardamon Pod and taking a l...

I arrived in Surfers Paradise late afternoon after driving down from Noosa through the Glass Mountains an Brisbane. While in Surfers I wet to Wet n Wild which was a good day out meeting quite a few people. They have a a lot of good rides which was good and forced myself on all of them which is what happens once you have done a skydive. When I ar...

Today I took a walk up to Cape Byron where you can stand on the most easterly mainland point of Australia. I was going to hire a bike but took the hostel advice to walk. I went up to the beach and followed the beach until I picked up the Cooks Trail and walked along the purpose built wooden jetty around the coast line. The walk is beautiful with...

The trip to Byron Bay takes about 2 hours and we also cross a time zone adding an hour onto our current time. There isnt a great deal to see to I content myself with listening to Zero 7 again - they are a firm sun and holiday favourite - and playing more solitaire. We arrive in Byron just after 11am and the doors open to a waft of incense and pe...

Today was a very successful day of surfing. The weather was great, the water was warm and we all managed to stand up, fairly often. The second we got back into the van, after the surfing, the rain started, but we were very lucky for 3 hours. Our surfing instructor was slightly insane, he kept trying to do impressions of William Shakespeare but a...

Back for a third day and another afternoons surf. This time we headed to a different beach a bit further south which I found better as there were bigger waves closer in to the shore so it took less effort to fight the way out. By now the instructor was getting tough and looking for results. I managed to catch a few, the highlight being the one w...

I've been travelling up the coast of New South Wales and have now made my way into Queensland. I thought I would cover a lot more territory in the past month than I actually did but I found myself getting stuck in some places for a little longer than I anticipated. I met loads of people that I didn't want to leave and I decided to do my PADI ope...

Today we did for the first time for I and the second for Ptit Pierre a surfing cession. We decided to take a lesson to do a right start and we did it after 2 hours of course we succeeded to take a wave and surf it alone!!!! We joined the bug family of the surfer today !!! So by now we call us: surfer Ptit Pierre and Surfer Marco. It was AWESOME!...

We leave Brisbane as we're heading to the Warner Brothers theme park to cheer ourselves up. We're like two excited six year olds running around high on E numbers. The first ride is the Batman Shotwave where you go 70m in the air at 70km an hour which does my stomach no end of good as it carries onwards as i stop at the 70m highpoint. We go on th...
