Since we arrived in Australia we've been so busy! We've been shown around Sydney by Kavs family and its been pretty eventful! After 3 months of junk food (mostly noodles, rice, and chilli!) we were treat to some awesome healthy food, which our bodies greatly appreciated!
After a week of trying to get a camper, we finally got a bright green and purple Jucy camper for 30 days! So, as of the 7th of March we've been on the road! We left Sydney and headed straight to Byron-Bay, which took just short of 10 hours. The scenery was fantastic, and we even saw a kangaroo jump in front of the van!
Our first night in the camper was spent right next to the beach in Byron-Bay, which was great until we were woken up by an Aussie official who threatened to fine us if we didn't go to a campground. Still half asleep, we drove round the corner and slept for a few more hours hoping the big green machine wouldn't be spotted again!
Our second night was spent just outside of Byron-Bay down a small street. With no disruptions we got a good nights sleep!
The following day we set off to Surfers Paradise, where we are now. We don't have a clue what to do here and the weathers a bit pants! But we'll cruise around in our Jucy camper and keep ourselves entertained!!

P.S. Sorry to be brief! Time is money in this upside down world!!!

We've been driving up the coast for the last week or so, reaching as far as Yeppoon near Rockhampton. We didn't stay long as it was a pretty dull place! Although we did manage to visit a wildlife sanctuary and get close to some roo's, koalas, snakes and loads more. Before we reached Yeppoon, we spent a few days in Noosa, a really chilled place famous for its surfing! We spent our days bodybooarding and fishing, and in the evening we ate whatever we caught- which ticks a box!!
After leaving Yeppoon, we came straight to Bundaberg, home of the worlds finest Ginger Beer and Rum- allegedly. We visited a glass blowing and crafts centre which was pretty neat, and as the weather is just like a typical day in England, were just passing the time playing cards and watching movies. Very cultural!! Hopefully the sun will come back out in the next few days and we'll get back on the beaches and have some fun!!

Sorry about the lack of pics, the internet access is scarce and expensive, so you'll have to contain your excitement and wait for us to get back!!

Much love

The travellers x
