The sun has arrived!

Wednesday 27th December...

Arrived at Tozer's at 6:30 - surprisingly he was up to greet us!
Grabbed a few hours sleep as we didn't get much on the flight. M was very cold and the budget airline didn't carry blankets!
Tozer gave us a drive-by tour of Brisbane (in the rain) and then it was off to pick up the hire car. Our 'compact' car was large enough for us all to get in the boot! We have done well!
Off to the supermarket to get beer and food supplies then back to Tozer's for a BBQ.
We both had a nap in the afternoon then carried on until midnight with lovely food, beer and fairly good company!

Thursday 28th December...

No rain today but still very overcast. Not happy!
On the road early following Taneski to 'Surfer's Paradise'. Inappropriately named as it was a long way from paradise - very commercialised. The beach was nice but too cold to sit around for long.
Back on the road and we headed for Byron Bay. Still very commercialised and lots of 'hippy' types smoking illegal substances!
Had a lounge on the beach till the sun went in. D went body surfing then we were back on the road to our final resting place for the day - The 'Chapparal' motel in Ballina. Very close to the 'Big Prawn'!!
Delicious Thai meal for dinner then M left the boys to head for last orders at the nearby tavern.

Friday 29th December...

Up at 8:00. On the road again and straight through to Coffs Harbour. Just arrived and found an internet cafe!
The sun is shining and the sky is blue. I think I might like it here!
We're here for a few hours then on through to Nambucca Heads for the night. Only about 600km to Sydney!
