We had been scheduled to swim with the Dolphins last Thursday morning but as this picture shows the seas were rough and the sky threatening!

And so we left Forster and headed North up the East coast to Coffs Harbour.

The beach at Coffs - very inviting!


And even more inviting we headed further North to Byron Bay. Another beautiful beach....



We are now travelling with Ian & Kath, our friends who used to live in Surrey, UK and who moved to Australia 6 years ago. Here we are standing at the most Easterly point in Australia.



I should point out that our itinerary has not actually allowed us to laze on any of these beaches! maybe next time.



We are now in the Gold coast, knocked by some as being very touristy it is certainly a buzzing place, especially Surfers Paradise wich does what is says!
We are staying in a rather smart appartment away from the noise, 26th floor with great sea views.

Couldn't resist this one!





From here we visited Tamborine Mountain, quiet, peaceful and very pretty with a little rain forest walk.



Next stop the city of Brisbane, from the River......



A little Australian moment, Kangaroos in the grounds of the local Universaty, apparantly they make good students!
