i’t still waiting for an immense amount of photographs vallentine took, but it seems he took that much that it’s hard to sort them out.

yesterday we arrived in newcastle. the city is really ugly, not the best place to go for your holidays i can say. we didn’t even found a place to stay for the night because everything is booked out here at the central coast. that’s crazy. everyone seems to be heading to sydney for new year. we decided to stay at a national park near newcastle which was pretty awesome. sleeping in our van in the middle of the jungle. by the way, i’ve finally seen some kangaroos and koalas and wallabies. they have been shy the last weeks, but now they are everywhere. i also ate a lot of them. … ok, just kangaroo… so, tastes great by the way.
the landscapes here in new south wales are not exactly what i expected. everything is green and looks healthy and stuff. no desert or dry regions at all. the outback is just too far away to get there and sometimes i feel like we’re in ireland or something. but they say that it was a very rainy year. so that might explain it. anyway, just to mention it again, they have the most beautiful beaches i’ve seen yet.
today we’re driving up into the blue mountains. our last two nights before sydney. i guess there are still some awesome days ahead. hard to believe that holidays are almost over.
i’ll be posting some more pics when we’re in sydney…
after fraser we finally drove down to byron bay. 700 km left to sydney. byron is the number one hippie city on the coast i guess. everyone here seems stoned or worse. maybe thats why the owner of the hostel we were staying in kicked us out for no reason on christmas eve. he has been a real all-australian-asshole. so don’t go here. it is a big ripoff.
we had christmas eve dinner in lennoxheads at a stunning beach and champagne breakfast at the morning. but christmas in austrlaia is just not the same. i’m starting to miss home a bit.
still seven days to go. right now we’re in port macquarie. they have the most beautiful beaches i’ve seen yet.
let’s go surfing….
here’s some pics of our trip to fraser island natural reserve.
driving a jeep through the jungle and across the beaches is simply awesome.
the last few days we hang out in surfers paradise, perfect weather, nice waves and my first attempts to go surfing. i can say i wasnt that bad ;-) ok. maybe i was. but at least i managed to stand up on the board a couple of times.
surfers is a typical tourist city, scyscraper-hotels everywhere next to the beach, shopping malls, and night clubs. and that’s what we’ve been up to. shopping, drinking, dancing and getting sunburned. nice.
after that, flo and i went to brisbane again, where we met up with valentine who just arrived from singapore to join our roadtrip. some brisbane city visiting. i don’t like the city that much. nothing very special about it. but therefore, we’ve been staying at beautiful house in ipswich (near bris), where some friends of flo are living at the moment.
as i’m writing this blog entry, we’re about to leave for fraser island. one of the most beautiful places in australia people say…
some impressions from the last few days here in robina at the gold coast. the weather is great right now and yesterday i got my first sunburn. ouch.
