My last entry explained Foley and I would be spending a week in ye olde town of Yamba, and that we did. Most of our time was spent mastering the art of frisbee on the main beach. We now consider ourselves semi-professional.
Every night we bought in the ingredients and we Foley cooked them up into […]
Our week in Byron Bay is over, it’s really a great place. I did another dive on Friday at Julian Rocks, this time at The Needles. The visibility wasn’t as good as Tuesday’s dive due to strong currents so I didn’t see as much, although I saw a Moral Eel this time, a couple of […]
I had the most amazing dive and day yesterday. I’d booked in with Sundive the previous day for a scuba dive at 11am, along with the other guys who were just snorkelling. Monday was a bit windy and cloudy, and there was a big swell and choppy as hell in the sea so we were […]

Saturday we visited Sydney Aquarium, saw some sharks and huge manta rays and that, and then embarked on a monster trek around the city which included the Royal Botanic Gardens where hundreds of bats were nesting, flying about and generally making a lot of noise.
Saturday night was […]
