im in byron bay right now, which is just south of queensland. its a beautiful spot. the surf has been pretty good. its this crystal clear beach break that wedges up under a cliff and fires. its not too dissimilar to el morro beach breaks, but more consistant and more makeable. ive been pretty tired because it took me 13 hours by bus to get here and then i immediately went out and surfed for three hours. i surfed again this morning and it was good. probably go out for a bit of an evenings sesh. im starting to get my surfing back little by little. australia is much more expensive than i thought it would be. even though the dollar does well against the aussie dollar the conversion still is rough. looks like im going up to coolangatta in a few days to check out the superbank and burleigh but it doesnt seem to be very big up there so i might just end up surfing duranbah. then i fly to sydney on the 17th.
