Coffs Harbour

The picture above is from the ferry in Sydney.


I have made it up to Coffs Harbour now. If you look on the map below it is between Newcastle and Gold Coast. It took about 10 hours on the bus to get here, including the stops. It was cool to see the countryside as we rode along the pacific coast hwy though there isn't much going on out there. Coffs Harbour is a relatively small and quite coastal town with some specatular views. I think I got some great pictures as I was biking around today. We hiked up this really steep hill/mtn to see awesome views of the ocean, the rocks along the shore, beaches, and the mountains in the distance; it was breath-taking. And the wind on top was so strong that it almost knoced you over. On the way down was a brown snake which is deadly. After patiently waiting, the snake moved off the path to allow us to walk by.

    Hi Chad,
    LOVED the sunset photos!!! Australia is the one place I want to travel to. (Only wish I could get there w/o going over so much water!) Keep enjoying your life time experience. When DO you plan on coming home? Love, Ms. Laura
