It Rains Even in Yamba, an Australian Surfing Hotspot

Tuesday 15th February 2011 – Yamba, Australia I awoke to the familiar sound of rain this morning. I don’t know why, but I was under the impression it rained less in Australia to that of the UK, but certainly so far, I had experienced my fair share of the wet stuff. Rain has that annoying way of stopping you from doing the things you want to do, but I wouldn’t let it beat me, not today. I had planned to go surfing again today with the two German girls I met yesterday, ...

Monday 14th February 2011 – Yamba, Australia It’s fair to say I was looking forward to today immensely, and the prospect of surfing for the first time in my life. This is one of the main reasons for me coming to Australia, and today it was happening. I was very excited indeed. I awoke nice and early and made my way to the reception where a few others were waiting. A confident surfer off on her daily surf was among the small gathering of people. Two pretty German girls were also waiting ...

Yamba, a Little Slice of Heaven

Sunday 13th February – Yamba, Australia My journey today would take me to Yamba, further up the East coast of Australia. First, though, I had most of the day to take a look around Coffs Harbour a little more. The glorious sunshine was beckoning me and I wanted to take full advantage of this. I hadn’t been able to get to Muttonbird Island in time yesterday, and as the sun fell behind the mountains, I didn’t get the photos I was hoping for. Therefore, this morning was all about revisiting the island, ...

Coffs Harbour Beaches and Muttonbird Island

Saturday 12th February – Coffs Harbour, Australia I hadn’t planned to spend too long in Coffs Harbour, but I was beginning to wonder if maybe I should, but I wasn’t really happy in the room I was in, and I wanted to move on as money was getting a bit tight, so today would be my last day here. I had a few things I wanted to do while I had the chance. I started the morning by booking my onward journey tomorrow, and the hostel where I would be staying. The ...

Arriving at Coffs Harbour

Friday 11th February – Coffs Harbour, Australia I was moving on today, this time to a place called Coffs Harbour. To be honest, I hadn’t heard much about the place, and most people said not to bother about it, but I wanted to see it for myself and to forge my own opinion of it, so off to Coffs Harbour I went. I started the day by having breakfast, much like anybody else, and noticed that a bit more of my food had been tampered with in the fridge. I decided not ...

Sea Acres National Park in Port Macquarie

Thursday 10th February – Port Macquarie, Australia I awoke early today as I had planned a full day. I wanted to visit Sea Acres National Park, and it was some distance away. I had to walk along the long coastal pathway to get there, so it would be a good day I thought. First off though was a quick walk to the harbour to see if I could spot any dolphins before they headed out to sea for the day. As luck would have it, two were busy patrolling the waters in ...

How to Have a Stress-Free Trip to Disney World With Air Charter and More

If you’re a parent, your kids probably beg you every year to go on vacation to Disney World. The thought of going there may give you a migraine, though. Wouldn’t it be nicer for you and your spouse to take a trip to the Bahamas using a private air charter service while the kids stayed with their grandparents? Alas, you can’t go to the Bahamas with your spouse every year. At some point, you’re going to have to fulfill your promise of going with the whole family to the happiest ...

Koala Hospital in Port Macquarie

dan — Sun, 04 Dec 2011 16:07:45 +0000

Wednesday 9th February – Port Macquarie, Australia I awoke to the chorus of bird song outside my window this morning. It was a lovely sound and put a big smile on my face as the sun began to fill the room. It wasn’t a beautiful day by any means as there was a covering of cloud all about, but it was light enough to be heading out today. My destination today was the Koala Hospital. I have seen leaflets about it and spoken to a few of the guests who have already ...
