Everywhere inbetween sydney and gold coast

The places we went to between sydney and the goldcoast were:
  • Katoomba, at katoomba we went to the three sisters, and did the scenic railway to the bottom of the forest and the cableway back to the top. the scenic railway is Australias steepest railway (it is not a real train though).
  • Dubbo, at dubbo we went to the dubbo parklands zoo on the second day we where there, the day after we went to the zoo again because the tickets are 2 day tickets. on the second day we rode our bikes around the zoo. At the zoo they had allkinds of animals but you would probably see them at any zoo, but we did see baby giraffes.
  • Uralla/Armidale, at uralla we stayed at our friends friends house. their names were Carol and Steve, carol had a broken leg from falling over so she could not do much. We went out to the gostwyck church and saw the only shearing shed of its kind in Australia, it was round, we also went to Armidale and went to Dangar falls. it had a very thin gorge. at dangar falls we read that a italian man tight roped across the gorge and survived.
  • Coffs Harbour, at coffs harbour we walked mutton bird island and saw a awesome view of the ocean, we also had jeds bike stolen while we where out for the morning, and he had more bad luck he asked mum if she could put his ipod on the charger in the car but she forgot about it and left it on the dashboard and when we were driving around a corner mum had here window down and it went flying out, she heard something smash and said oh no thats my phone but when she went out she saw that it was jeds ipod, then she came back in and showed him, it was cracked and if he hadn't had a screen cover glass would of gone every where, now it is still cracked but it works. At coffs harbour we also met this family from perth they were travelling aroung Australia aswell they had 3 kids, their names are Joanne (mum),  Mark (dad), Emma (daughter), Luke (son) and Ben (son). Emma is my age, actually she turned eleven yesterday. We will hopfully stayed friends for ages. when we get to Perth on our trip we might stay at their house if they are home.
  • Woody Head, next we stayed at a national park and stayed at a campsite called Woody Head, by coincidence we saw the shaw family again after coffs harbour not knowing they were going there, so we had one more night there to have more time toghether. we had tea together every night and had lots of lollies from the Kiosk, me and Emma found some shells with holes in them at the beach so we made a bracelet each. they turned out awesome! then we left but a day before they left.  we also went to the beach and did some boogy boarding. When we where there we did hardly any school work because we had alday with friends.
  • Lennox Head/Byron Bay, at lennox head we did school work the first day but the second day once again we found each other together again by coincidence and then had not much school work. we ahd a roast one night for dinner. One night we had dinner with our family friend Hammish Oldfield, he came to the caravan and had dinner, the same night there was a movie on at the caravan park so we watched that with Emma. At that caravan park there was a lake and a beach acroos the road so after we went to the beach we went back to the lake a boggy boarded aroung to where we were camped near. Then it was time to say goodnight for real so we did.
  • Tweed Heads,  at tweed heads we stayed at a caravan park that had a billabong witha pontoon and a aqua jump in it, we swam in the billabong and hired paddle boards to paddle in. We also jumped off of the pontoon. the caravan park also had a pool, actually 2, so we went to the pool mostly and it had a none heated pool and a heated pool with a slide. We also met some people on a holiday from Towoomba and had fun in the pool with them.
