It's been quite the few days since blogging. After leaving Byron Bay we headed to a key tourist destination inland called Nimbin. It was truly in the outback and was quite beautiful, Ed stayed in the middle of a mountainous rainforest. Nimbin is a known hippy town- but we didn't realize how literal it was until we were stuck there for the night. All the excitement of traveling! We decided we really couldn't stay there more than 1 night, beautiful as it was, and headed back to Byron after many hours of hammock swinging. The only little issue was we were without accommodation in Byron...
...sooo, we got on a bus! To Brisbane (or brisie as everyone calls it). Monday is labour day here and Friday was the last day of finals for the university's here AND a huge festival is on in Brisbane this weekend, so there was truly one room available in town. At 1 am we arrived to our hotel- and they had given away our room! Long story short, the Leach's got a travel agent to help us in Regina to find one final room in Brisbane at around 2 am, just before we camped on the front lawn of the motel.
All is good in Brisbane now. Lovely city with lots of cool shopping areas. Off to another beach town tomorrow, where we'll start our camping tour at Frasier Islands for Kath & I's last week together in Aus!
Really and truly missing your faces in Canada. We officially have peeling burns, just warming up for Asia.
Lots of love xo
Love keeping up to date on the blog. Your adventures are really something.
ReplyDeleteThe Banff crew spent the day at Calaway Park so I just talked to a couple of very excited kids.
Enjoy the rest of your Aussie time with Kathryn.
Much love.
