Candice and Besie get punctured (In the pouring rain)
We are in Sydney!! and it is wetter than home!!!!
Byron bay was a little dissapointing, there wasnt much to do, or much to see so we had a quiet few days there, but we did manage to make friends with nice people who were goign to surf camp with us so it wasnt a complete waste. As soon as we left Queensland and crossed into NSW it started raining and the weather has been pretty naff since then.
We got on the bus for surf camp annoyingly early, and found out that we had Trigger as our driver ( we have heard lots of good things about him, and hes the brother of Frat one of the other drivers weve had) He was a blast and had a wide range of cheesy 80’s pop on his ipod 
We got into Surf Camp about 1ish and got pretty much straight into wetsuits and into the water. The waves were quite a bit smaller than in Noosa so the wipeouts wernt as bad. Because there were about 22 people surfing and only 5 instructors we got a chance to catch waves all on our own ( somethign we struggled with before) We are now so good at surfing that there have been talks of sponsorship, but nothing official just yet.
After that we went back to the camp and hung out till Dinner. Another oz bus turned up driven by Frat, so we had the two brothers keeping us amused all evening. They even brought their girlfriends along ( Candince and Besie the blow up cow and sheep)
We got into Sydney last night in the pouring rain, traffic was pretty bad because a few roads and lanes had been flooded. We are now off out to check out the sights and landmarks. I think tomorrow we might head on a vineyard tour and go wine tasting.
Lots of Love

Townsville
Townsville is awsome, although no sign of the powerpuff girls which makes us sad!
Yesterday was pretty cool, we vistited the aqaurium and got to see loads of cool fish and even a giant turtle.
Today we had an early morning to head off to the koala sanctuary, where we got to hold both a koala and a wombat, and we got some really nice photos taken. We also got to feed some more kangaroos, and some angry angry geese who ran off with the bags of seed.
Off to Airlie beach tomorrow, where we will do a proper entry. The computer we are using has a really really slow connection
we will update properly and at length as soon as we can
Love Steff & Rach
