hello!
thought i'd better start a thread here....
so i've got 6 weeks left in new zealand
which is crazy.... and from that moment on i'm gonna be racing around like a mad thing on a stupidly rushed tour of australia before heading to singapore and borneoi know its short - i wish i could make it longer but after much thinking i dont think there's much i can do... so here it is...
8th july... arrive in melbourne
(fire night on sunday?)
11th-ish head up to sydney - spend time in sydney and stuff... including a couple of days tramping in the blue mountains
18th-ish Byron Bay - or so i was advised to visit...could change
20th-ish - Brisbane (Moonfest on the 21st
)23rd fly to perth (such a long way - ah well all fun fun fun)
(perth beach spin? tuesday night - if i dont have to get to airport?)
27th stupidly early flight back to melbourne to connect with plane to singapore....
too make things more entertaining i might have to spend an afternoon in each of the big cities doing research for my dissertation!
but anyway i'm all excited...
was thinking bout transport.... how easy is hitching?
otherwise maybe the train? (country link trains have a pass thing...?????)
and erm...campsites....i'm sure if i look i'll find the info...
any comments, ideas, places to visit or people to come see
.....x

Byron is nice.The beaches are beautiful and on most tourists' list of places to 'do'. It's also winter. Which makes it less crowded (to many minds more attractive) but less beachtastic. The town itself is mostly touristic and avoidable unless you're into meeting other backpackers/ shopping for clothes/jewellery/homewares and assorted trinkets.
I guess it all comes down to your own interests.. a local type spinny meet in a moderately interesting city, or strolling miles down gorgeous mindexpanding beaches and having chilly dips before a backpacker cafe experience! That sounds sarcastic.. Not intended! If you do go to Byron the Arts Factory is an interesting place to stay and they sometimes have fire things there... the hinterland, the hills inland of Byron are really lovely.. depends a lot if you have a car..... Would you bus to Byron?

When you come to Perth, PM Medusa or myself to get spinning details. If its summer keep Mondays and tuesdays free. Tuesdays go all year round.
Where up north are you going?
We have wee and HUGe poisonous beasties with huge gnashy teeth.

I need a bigger kitchen so we can bounce around without bumping into each other. We nearly lost Nat under the trampoline earlier when she slipped!

Trampoline in the kitchen..unreal. Nah. To explain the boys had heaps of sand on the trampoline outside and Nat decided to sweep it and we spotted her as she pulled herself out of the hole the trampoline saying "You didnt see that did you?"
