We met up with Vicky and Neil in Brisbane before we headed up the coast, they were planning a camping trip anyway, so they met with us in Noosa.

We spent the afternoon and evening with them, and after a few beers and some expert weather predictions (by ourselves) we came to the conclusion that Laura and I should head south to the Gold coast. That way we might get a chance at getting some sunshine!

We headed back through Brisbane, and went south, stopping briefly at Surfers Paradise, and a couple of other beaches, before settling in Coolongatta for the night - not alot to say about it, but we drank cheap beer at the surf club!

Next morning we headed off to Byron bay, where we stayed in a camp site, with hot showers! We ended up staying there for two nights, as FINALLY the sun came out! :) Just as we were heading into Nimbin, the Maruajana capital of New South Wales. We just had a quick walk around, but were offered 'weed' by every third person we walked passed, so we ducked into the Museum there, which is probably really cool if your stoned but was a little odd!

Today we had our first surf lesson which was very cool! There are some pictures, but i'll have to put them on later.....
