Steph's Travelogue: Day 11: Koalas & Kangaroos

Woke up this morning & were greeted by some lovely rain clouds. We packed up the ‘coach’ and headed south. Our first stop was Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary where we got to hold Koalas and get our pics taken with them. Then, we got some time to wander around the Sanctuary and got to feed kangaroos. It was a bit drizzly while there but we still had a good time seeing the wildlife. The Emu was a bit too friendly with Eddie – think he made a new friend. Our next stop south was Byron Bay, a hippie little town on the coast. The girls & Molly got dropped off separately as they went to take surf lessons. The rest of us headed up to the lighthouse, Australia’s most eastern point. A bit drizzle still, but cool to see. For free time in Byron Bay, we hit the Hog’s Breath Café while waiting for our surfers to finish. Said they had a good time. None are experts, by far, and were pretty exhausted afterwards. Back on the coach we went for about a 3+ hour drive to our evening’s destination…Coffs Harbour. It’s just a pit stop as we push on down to Sydney. We’re staying at what seems to be a lovely resort, but we arrived in the dark, so really have no idea. J We have an early wake-up call tomorrow to spend the entire day on the coach, about a 9 hour drive down to Sydney, so may have to get creative with our pics tomorrow.
