We initially planned to only come to this town for less than a day...we've been here 4 now...still waiting for the mystery swell that everybody says is coming. There's a guy that works here at the backpacker's lodge, Cool Bananas, he showed up 4 and a half years ago here planning to stay 2 days....yeah ...he's been here 4 and a half years. It's the trap. Everyone here is so cool and laid back, it's a small town on the ocean, around 2,000 people, off the beaten track a bit, and its a surf town...no reason to leave I guess.
So we basically wake up and spend the day at the beach swimming and paddling around...come back to the lodge and get blasted at nite on Australian wine and party with everyone here. Campfire, guitar, booze...etc. It's a good life. Days could turn into weeks and months and years here and you'd never even know it. Now, only if the waves would show up. Everyone is waiting for it.
We drink wine and jokingly plan to burn a surfboard for Huey (the god of surf). Its a great crew here...travellers form all over the world, Germany, team Wales, England, Sweden, there's even a girl from Oakville here. Some crazy Aussies offered to take us out to the outer reef to surf if the swell comes...perhaps that may occur, maybe not, who knows?
el plano looks to be like we may head south to either Fraser island or to Noosa or both very soon.
