This is the view I ended 2011 with and this is the view I started 2012 with. I would not have changed a thing in 2011. If I did, I would not have ended up in Australia meeting who I did and hanging out with who I did. Life puts you in the path with the people you’re suppose to meet and on the path … Continue reading 2012

Date: 12.23 AUS Time: 11:14a We stayed 2 nights in Coffs Harbour. We ate real meals vs pbj sandwiches and chilled on the beach. We met our camp site neighbor Frank from Amsterdam and drank way too much. 12.22 – we landed in Byron after walking thru and having lunch in Bangalow. Byron’s beaches are beautiful and our short amount of time there made us … Continue reading Coffs to Byron to Brisbane

Date: Dec 21st AUS @ 12:22p I’m currently worshipping the sun on a beach somewhere in Coffs Harbour. The wind is keeping it from being so blazing hot but it is also kicking the sand around.

We settled … Continue reading Tourist Day…aka Acting Like Kids

The sky walk was a bit of a let down since we imagined it was going to be like Grandfather Mountain’s Mike High Swinging Bridge but it wasnt. We didnt ponder on that too long because after we walked the path to Crystal Shower Falls. As we walked we … Continue reading Dorrigo National Park on the Waterfall Way

We reached Port Macquarie, a tourist/retirement town. Stores close @ 4 or 5. We got there at 530. We do walk around and take in the pier and water and watched the sunset. Afterwards we spend about 30 mins looking for somewhere to rest our heads. The places in the tourist guide are closed so we said screw it and hit the road and find … Continue reading End of Dec 18th

Date: 12.18 AUS Current time: 3:40p We are somewhere on Pacific Highway near Taree. We loaded our gear into our campervan that we have named Gordon or Smelly Ass Gordon. Why smelly? The CV (short for campervan because it’s too long to type) smells like stale fish…as if some cooked fish and the scent lingered. After a quick lets get lost leaving Bondi, we set … Continue reading On the Road: Day One
