Departure from Palm Beach to join Macleay Island. Because we have a monumental bowl, we have folded the tent for the last time the pouring rain. Where we had breakfast in the kitchen between showers and learn from television that the weather does not improve, he expects storms at least for a week. We leave the campsite and go towards Capalaba a big shopping center for shopping before returning to the island

It is 17 hours and we are on the ferry to go and we say that this is the end of the round, yes it is very difficult to admit but it's over, we did.

Now we all tidy up, clean equipment in seven months because of travel, everything is a bit Sali. You have to think to sell the trailer and the car.

After the first round and may be the next ....

It rained all last night and this morning, the sun rises with heavy clouds, the weather is cloudy, it is very heavy. No beach or pool today, we go to surfers paradise in a big shopping center. Change cup for me and I pass color to blonde and yes for this new year I want to change your look. After spending two hours at the hairdresser's the final verdict: blonde with orange reflections ... the change is amazing. Meanwhile my husband and daughters have capitalized to do some shopping, some clothes for girls.

For our last dinner we stopped at a pizzeria that we carry with us in the pouring rain we eat on the floor under the tent. Last meal tent for tomorrow we bend, the adventure is over ...

New year 2007 which I hope will also announce that the one we just finished. Rise very early this morning because the heat was terrible in the tent. About nine o'clock we leave spent much of the morning a few minutes by a creek in a river flowing into the sea, obviously not very pleasant and wave to lunch we return to Camping eat at the pool and dip as the weather changes rapidly we preferred to go before receiving a rain because of very big, ugly clouds over our heads.

A very good day for the first day of the year and we end with a BBQ meal (steak and sausage kangaroos / vegetables / strawberries with champagne on all to wish a happy new year.

This morning on the eve of new year we bend forward for once to go on behind the Gold Coast to spend Christmas Eve in Palm Beach camping with the same name but which cost us $ 106 for three days is the more than we paid and amenities are desired. The only one that had room for at this moment it is school holidays and those who are to surfers paradise had to book much earlier and for much longer. This morning we did some shopping especially champagne ($ 30 six bottles); After we leave our location on the beach in Palm Beach can not swim there are too vague. We will try to find a place without waves.

We leave again shopping for our daughters being very tired we give up to go surfing on Christmas Eve to spend as planned. We spent the campsite like everyone else except that we had champagne with shrimp, salmon and a dessert with fresh surimi (a pavlova). To finish with a firework on the beach.

Another time the Australians do not celebrate as we thought. Have their summer holidays so they are grouped either by families or friends, they spend the day drinking beer.

Byron Bay a great side like Noosa Head or the Riviera in France. Swimming in water with a transparent blue color with big waves. The girls put their buoys to be around with us for the waves clashed. After an hour we came out without sunbathing on the towel because we are pretty cramés. Small cold shower to rinse and then we hit the road to find a Rest area to no avail because there is no place to plant the trailer. We push the road to Murwillumbah or normally we should find a showground, because at the beginning of our adventure we had been there after the Mount warning.

Grand showground with electricity and hot showers for only $ 15 (children free).
