Respiration Acrostic Poem

Newcastle, Ballina and Byron Bay

Early morning we set off from Sydney. Lauren had a day taken the time to show us their old home, Port Stevens, and brought us for the next night with her friend to Newcastle. After three hours we were in Port Stevens, a beautiful small port city. From a small hill we had a brilliant view, see picture!

afternoon we went to Newcastle, on the road and saw our first wild pelican! The city offers itself through a rare blend of traditional industry and a small port city. Unfortunately, the capital of the coal industry, on the horizon piled the container ships to sail the coke to China.

name from Newcastle from us our first Greyhound! And after an hour we had seen Ayers Rock (Photo left). Next stop along the coast as Ballina, a small coastal town, as so many here, near the more famous Byron Bay. Byron is a Mecca for hippies and alternative lifestyle planet, at least according to Lonely. Actually, it looked but like most cities: a few thousand inhabitants, many surf shops and cafes, photo galleries of beach, surf and fish pictures, and of course many backpackers ...

In Ballina we had a very nice couch surfers found that we spent two great days, Mindy and Sam. Hence, the trip is very worthwhile, especially since the two are not only Byron Bay show, but we also presented an incredibly pitoresque beach walk up to the lighthouse sunset ....








But on the way north, towards the warmth, not much time left. After two nights we were already on, to Hervey Bay to visit the world largest sand island ....
