Port Macquerie

So we arrive in Port Macquarie and settle into our new hostel. Its packed, fully booked in an understatment, we have people sleeping in the livigroom and on the floor of our room!!!

We head out to get some food and a booze for the evening ahead, and as we past the front door and balcony i double take - yes its Danny and Zac, the funny talking farmer guys we met in Surfers.

That night we had a few beers with Danny and Zac

and I slated their Intinery down the east coast - they had practically just missed out all the good places cause the first hostel they came across was full so kept driving...

Next day, it was down to me to show them how an Intinery should look....
We hired bikes and set off to cycle around the number of beaches, the rainforest board walk and koala hospital...

The bikes were the worst bikes we have ever ridden, no brakes or gears, to stop you pedalled backwards... not that easy when you trying to stop whilst going downhill!!

First we get to the painted rocks..

Then wandered along some of the lovely beached...

Visit the koala hospital...

a pic of a koala caught in a forest fire

and an old koala with back problems (kyphosis and scoliosis)..

in stead of walking the boadwalk.. the guys made me cycle it.. in hindsight a very good idea as we werent wearing bug spray so would have been eaten alive!!!

lots of fruit bats..

That night Terry and I cooked the boys dinner as they had been eating Mac Donalds 3 times a day since their trip - in return they would take us in their car to syndey - so we didnt have to get the 5.55am Greyhound bus! lovely!!!
