Back to NZ, Again

Not actually NZ - the coastline south of Byron Bay, Queensland, Australia


Suzanne and I arrived back in Oxford late last night. It was good to be back.

Our time in Australia was good. Australia is a huge country. We traveled 4100 km (~2400 miles) up and down the East Coast of New South Wales and Queensland. The furthest that we made it North was to Town of 1770 - many, many hours short of Cairns. It was many hours of driving, but many beutiful kilometers of country in three weeks.

There are a few adventures to tell of along the way - whale watching, zoo visiting, snorkeling in the Outer Great Barrier Reef, getting sunned at many a beach - things such as this. While there is not time to post too many stories I have had a chance to upload some new pictures - nine to be exact. Nothing fancy, just a few pics showing us and some of the places visited.

We are taking a few days respite before continuing onto travels into the South Island of New Zealand. There is a bit of activity here at the YWAM Oxford Base and so it has been good to visit friends and new faces here.

Suzanne and I will venture off here to maybe take a trip around the southern part of the South Island, or maybe we will go to the north of the South Island - either way, were bound to see a little bit of this country before we leave in mid-November!
