Firstly, apologies for a very short and rather boring blog! There’s not much to do at the moment apart from go to the beach and explore beachside towns, which is lovely for us, but not so interesting to read about! Sorry!
Anyway, the beachside town we’ve been exploring at the moment is Bryon Bay, a town regarded by Australians to be small and untouched by the tat and skyscrapers of Surfer’s Paradise a couple of hours up the coast, despite developers best efforts. Unfortunately, the tat has not been kept quite at bay, and the locals have filled the town with the typical surf and didgeridoo shops! The surf shops can be explained however by the fact that Byron Bay is the most eastern point in Australia, apparently making it excellent for surfing (don’t ask why!). Taking advantage of this, we hired boards for Ryan’s birthday and caught a few waves! After a lot of falling off and drinking ridiculous amounts of sea water we managed to stand up for more than two seconds, and on more than one occasion! Consequently, we are officially surfers – gnarly dude!
