Did We Have Fun?

Down Under

Photo of Ric with our vanAustralia was the country which we stayed in for the longest; 4 months to be exact. We flew into Perth, Western Australia, and drove straight to Margaret River where we surfed for about 2 weeks. We then caught the bus back up to Perth and surfed the worst waves of the entire trip for another fortnight.

 

From Western Australia, we flew to Sydney, on the East coast, where we bought a van which we lived in for about 3 months. Throughout New South Wales we surfed the most consistent, high quality waves of the trip. We all spent a couple of days in Queensland, and Craig and Steve also surfed in Victoria, while I was in Adelaide, South Australia visiting some friends.
