Byron Bay!

Unfortunately, I still haven't gotten to buying a new camera so I have zero pictures of Byron Bay. On that note, Byron is definitely the top spot we have been so far. Kind of a little hippy town, but has a great atmosphere and the people are friendly. We finally are surrounded by more backpackers our age. Huge breath of fresh air. I splurged on some good snorkling gear... fins, snorkle, goggles : 250 dolla. I've used them twice now, and its already been worth it. There is an old boat wreck in the bay and it's pretty awesome. Saw a cool shark about 5 feet long, and a load of fish. I cannot wait for the reefs further north!!! We hiked to the lighthouse thismorning and it was beatiful. Beaches stretching off into the distance, waves crashing, and a few pods of dolphins hanging around. It was very cool. I think we are leaving town tomorrow, heading for Mt. Warning. It's supposed to be a good hike. Trip has really took a positive turn, and it's great to finally be social. OH-- big thing on my list is the sushi here. for a pretty good sized roll its 2.50 - 3.00 or so, and typically delicious. Can't wait to see what happens next! :D

North!

Hey all- Just woke up thismorning for the 3rd time in Hat Head! Back visiting Sylvie and the family. Working our way slowly north, but things are already changing a lot. Warmer. More Beautiful. Excellente. We stopped for two days in Sydney, and it was too much hustle and bustle for me. We stopped and camped at Anna Bay on the way here, and it was amazing. Huge beaches, beautiful views, sand dunes. We took a long detour on the way up and saw Ellensborough Falls, which I think said was a 200 meter fall, and was amazing. Apparently the second largest waterfall in the southern hemisphere (check me on that). When we got to hat head the boys (Kade and Abe) showed us the ropes. Spent some time in the waves, and also went and sand boarded on the dunes nearby... and I got sand jammed in the camera, so I am thinking I need a new one. DOH! I am still cleaning sand out of my ears and eyes. We are heading out in a few hours after a morning swim towards Byron Bay. It is supposed to be a big backpacker destination so we are looking forward to the time there. Saaa weeet.

No mas manzanas por favor.

Ok. Here's the update less cool pictures to make the blog worth looking at. Me and Hud are heading to Sydney tomorrow, and the fun begins. Hang for a few days, then head north. I will update some pictures when I am in Sydney. Picked last bit of apples on saturday, and I am ready to hit some beaches, climb some mountains, and eat some lobster.... not exactly in that order. Hope everyone's doing well, and I promise the next update won't suck major.
