Hey everyone!! So far our trip has been awesome as you would expect but the only downer is it has been raining like crazy! Apparently it is flooding up in Cairns! But depite that we have been able to find fun other places! The past 2 days we have been traveling up to the coast and we have been stopping at cute little towns and beautiful beaches and it has been just our luck that the rain has stopped and the sun has come out for the whole time we went swimming! It was awesome! So in the afternoons we get at least 4 hours of sun shine! We went swimming at Newcastle at the beach called Nobby beach and in Booti Booti National Park at a beach called Elizabeth beach! Elizabeth beach was beautiful, nothing but pure sand a clear water! And the waves were huge, close to 10 feet haha!! (When we hit them wrong they pounded us hard aha! we did many summersaults under water!)
Well we hope you enjoy our pictures!! We are in a little place called Byron Bay today and we will be here until Sunday! Tomorrow we are going for surf lessons which should be great and the next day we might go scuba diving!! Scary!! haha but we will post soon! Love you all!!


This is a picture of Kyle and I at the Bega Cheese factory! This was a town before Sydney! We got some lunch here and they made a mean grilled cheese sandwhich haha!!

This was 2 nights ago. Kyle and i stopped and slept at a truck stop called "The Rock" and we made dinner in our campervan for the first time! (The gas station was really shaped like a rock! It was huge)

This was me on Nobby Beach at Newcastle! 10 minutes later the rain stopped and we went boogie boarding! I knew the heavens were listening! haha
Oh and we found our boogie boards by a garbage can in a national park we drove through. There was no one around and they weren't broken so we threw them in the back of our van and they work awesome! Haha!
