Roadtrip East Coast - get the party started



After leaving Cairns we expirienced for the first time here in Australia how it is just to drive thousands of km without any idea where to go. we just stopped when we were tired or we saw a place which we liked.

We saw some of the most beutiful and famous beaches of the world like Mission Beach or Airlie Beach, did a tour by bus through the biggest sand island of the world on Fraser Islands and enjoyed the high waves on Byron Bay.

In the end our finale goal was Naracoorte in South Australia because our first payed job on a vineyard was waiting there. But before the hard work life started we enjoyed every minute of the roadtrip.

Of course we were partying a lot on our way and met a lot of people. One of them was Max from Germany and Clemont from France! We spent some great days with these 2 guys in Airlie Beach and at the end we established a band named "Jumping Crockodiles" (only problem: nobody can sing and just Max is able to play more than 5 songs on the guitare... but no worries, we will make our way to the top of the australian charts =)). When we left Airlie Beach Max decided to come with us. Hopefully we meet Clemont again to reunite the jumping crockodiles =).


On our way to the south we stopped as well in Brisbane, the third-biggest city of Australia. The traffic was horrible, but the city was really nice (even if we didn see a lot)! and we met in our hostel some people from Sydney again! oh, i forgot: the lagoon in brisbane is really worth to see it.

Last Stop on our Road Trip was the surfer paradise Byron Bay. :) It was just amazing there! We really fell in love with the small town and the breathtaking landscape from the very first moment. Highlight was the trip in the middle of the night to the lighthouse on a hill over the beach of byron bay. Just awesome!!!!

After Byron Bay we just kept on driving the 2000 km towards Narcoorte, just stopping to sleep and eat. Except from the stop in Ballina at the machanist because Max's car broke down. But in the end we arrived safe at Naracoorte on the 12 of November.
