We bounced along all day before getting to our campsite. When we arrived there, we had to plug in the electricity, turn the electricity on, turn the gas on and turn the water on. We cooked steak and chicken on a big hot plate at the campsite under a canopy. I really like cooking outdoors!

| Swimming in the bay. |
Today we left Brunswick Heads to go to Byron Bay. We arrived there and had a rest before cooking pasta!
Next day...
We stayed in our motorhome nearly all day doing homework before going out to the beach. It may sound fun, but when there's a beach out in front of you, it's hard to concentrate. Later in the afternoon, we went swimming and were nipped by something in the sea. We guessed it was sea lice!
I cooked burgers for dinner on a hot plate at the campsite for the whole family. It was great fun!
Next day...
We left Byron Bay today and headed south to Coffs Harbour. On the way, we saw some wild kangaroos!!! I saw a mum with a young joey! We parked up right by the beach and had sweet and sour with noodles.
Next day...
We departed from Coff's Harbour to Bulundala where we stayed in the woods with no electricity, no toilets, but it was free! There was an older couple staying there too, but that was all! They came into our motorhome for a drink and a chat with Mum and Dad. The lady's foot was bleeding where she had been bitten by a leech! She wasn't too worried but there was no way I was going outside!
In the morning Mum and Dad told us they had heard a loud noise in the night... it was a tree falling down!
Today we went to Ku Ringai Chase National Park. We went for a walk around a small trail and saw a seven foot kangaroo who gave us the evils! We watched a kookaburra having a wash and Mum tried to teach us a song about a kookaburra.
We drove to a place north of Sydney called Narabeen with the hope of meeting up with one of our friends from home who is living there!
Next day...
Our friend Kelly ran from her workplace (she works in a fitness centre!) to where we were staying. She was VERY excited! She said we could have dinner at her place with her and her boyfriend called Tim.
Later, she came to pick us up in Tim's van. We had barbecued lamb with sausages. Yum! It. Was nice to have an evening out of the motorhome and watch a film. We watched Mamma Mia and shared some M and Ms! Luxury!
Next day...
We went to Palm Beach with Kelly and Tim. We walked up a big hill to a light house. It was a great view! I could see for miles! It was good fun but baking hot.
Afterwards we had lunch at a fish and chip shop. No... It didn't cost £30 but instead it cost £90! Way over priced!
Next day...
We left Sydney to go to the Blue Mountains. It was a long drive but we eventually made it there. When we arrived we were greeted by a thunder and hail storm. The hail stones were nearly the size of golf balls!
We stayed in a non-powered campsite in the woods where you can camp for free. It was cool! They had long-drop toilets. Hence the name, the toilets are over a pit where you do your 'business' but there's a long drop to the pit! There's no way I would go to the toilets in there! When Mum told me there were cobwebs in there, that made my decision! Thank goodness for the toilet in our motorhome!
Next day...
ACT
We went to Canberra on the way to Ebden. Did you know Canberra is the capital of Australia, not Sydney? I didn't believe my Dad when he said that! For a capital city, it's tiny! We drove through the centre of the city and the roads were quieter than our towns at home!

| Very colourful!! |
We went to the Botanical Gardens to see eucalyptus trees, a Jurassic period pine tree, and much more. We did see a water dragon!! I didn't find it that interesting though and Dad made us write up notes on what we learnt! Boring!
