Coffs harbour to Byron Bay
06.07.2006
Ending up not doing a lot in coffs harbour, walked along the beach and to mutton bird island. Also went to the porpoise petting place, watched a dolphin and seal show, got to pet the dolphins afterwards. Also stroked some lizards and big python. Got to see some of the poisionous snakes as well (funnily enough we weren't allowed to pet them!!!)
Went off to byron bay on the monday. Byron is really nice. Stayed at Byron Bay YHA which was nice. The first full day in byron started off towards the light house and it rained so ended up playing cards with some German girls in the afternoon. On the Tuesday went up to nimbin and some of the places around it for the day. Nimbin can only be described as a permanant glastonbury, set up by hippies in the 70's, I think some of them think its still the 70's.
The last day in byron walked up to the light house, saw about 8 humpback whales from the most easterly point in Australia. Also saw loads of Dolphins surfing!!!! Walked up through some coastal rainforest and saw some bush turkeys and then walked back along the beach
Heading off to Brisbane next
Still no photos yet, I'm getting round to it. Slowly








wow, surfing dolphins? I would have thought they'd have trouble carrying their boards down the beach with fins instead of arms.
