5) Byron Bay Reprise

2/3
All hippie jokes aside, Byron Bay was a gorgeous and welcoming spot. Like Jackson, WY in the States, people come for a weekend and never leave. It's the Bermuda Triangle of chilling out.




So chill in fact, that 4 year old girls there are totally comfortable being flung in the air at mach 90. This tiny bad ass is either going to be an astronaut or a side stage attraction at the X Games.






Days consisted of the beach and... yeah not much else

















I surfed for 3 days straight. I'm happy to report that I've found another pursuit suited to my size and physic. With a naturally low center of gravity I took to surfing like Rosie O'Donnell to a ham sandwich.






Sports Rob's body is made for:
  1. Rock Climbing
  2. Tele Skiing
  3. Surfing
If I can find 5 I think I get a steak or something

My knees after 1 day on the board. There are two ways to get knees this red. One is surfing. The other will get you accepted early admission to Harvard.



2/4
The backpacker diet- a group of Brits walks home with a cart full of beer and nothing else. Good work gents.






2/5
True, but how did this guy know?





Seeing the same thing written on a bathroom wall as in your own country makes you feel oddly at home. I swear I've seen this EXACT same thing (including the question mark) in NYC. Anyone?

Only 5?! To roll down the side of a mountain in a giant plastic bubble, that can only contain a significant amount of old vomit? Glory be, my ship has come in.

I love worthless spots tourists are meant to take photos at. Perhaps these women are so excited because they couldn't possibly be further from the rest of Australia.





Don't tell me what to do, Russell. Jerk.







How cute is this little spot? I decided to get my hair cut just cause I thought it looked nice.








Saying goodbye to my lovely hosts, Celeste and Paul. Thanks again kids.

  1. Hi Rob! Sorry we're going to miss you at Primorski this weekend for our farewell, but it looks like you're having a pretty sweet time yourself. Gotta say I'm a bit jealous. You best come visit us soon!
