Now we be in Byron

Hey Guys,

Oh man busy busy busy life, we have just been doing so much and so much of nothing its ridiculous!

Jonny and myself have now reached Byron bay in northern NSW by wazy of Sydney, the blue mtns, Hunter valley, Hawks nest and myall lakes national park, Port Maquerie, Crescent head, Nambucca Heads, Coffs Harbour and Lennox Head.

Sydney was great fun though horribly expensive, as we all know it is a very beautiful city with some great beaches and waves. We stayed with Jen a friend from school days, oh the happy memories!

The blue mountains were so beautiful, a series of high plateaus with deep canyons running through them, we stayed down at a camp ground in the middle of the forest, met a great guy down there who we then did the bush walk with the next day, a great path that cut its way down a deep gully deep onto the forest floor, that was the last time we saw rain or clouds!

We then drove north inland through some incredible forest up to the hunter valley, yep thats right, some very fine wine tasting was on the cards, its certainly not a beautiful as other wine reigons but still excellent spot.

We then hit the coast and within half an hour i was in the water surfing some beautiful clean waves, i was the only person out in the chest high surf and that gave me big shark willies, Jonny had them too when swimming, ah the joys of the ozzy coast! Since then its been lots of the same, cruising around, chilling out in the great weather on beaches, havinbg bbqs and enjoying some beautiful waves.

Crescent head, the home of ozzie longboarding is a great wave, a long peeling point break, yep, goota go there guys, big time! Byron bay is a touch dissapointing on the waves, theswell aint great and the wind is making a mockery of what should be some fun and excellent surf. Sorry for too much wave chat, i think jonny should write this next time you may get a more rounded view :)

Bassically its great, the scenery is so good with sub tropical forested hills dropping out onto golden sand beaches in perfect blue sunshine. We will wack some pics on soon. Keep it real
