Hi Fran,
You wanting a surf trip or a sightseeing trip? Or a bit of both?

[surfygirl]

so do you mean surfers paradise in qld?...or all of the eastern coast of australia(like qld and nsw?). I'm sure you'll have a great trip.

[fran]

hell no, definetely no sightseeings...
id like to travel along those beatiful surfspots and stay about 3-5 days at each of em..but maybe start but all those magazines and books about it arent really that..well..can u say informative?
so any aussies in here? or im-travelling-around-the-wórld-till-my-feets-fall-off-ppl?

[fran]

oh my god, what did i write? i need more sleep..
so again, i think i should start in cairns, but im not quite sure how long it will take me down to adelaide..?id rather stay in small towns, im not that excited bout sydney coz its overcrowded like any beach in france..
yeah, qld and nsw, cant wait to get there..

Hey Fran,

if you want to stay at surf beaches, Cairns isn't a good place to start. I would start on the gold coast and drive to sydney, stopping along the way. There are literally hundreds of world class breaks to choose from and apart from the Goldy and Sydney, all have a country feel to them. My pick of the bunch would be Coffs Harbour, Byron Bay, Lennox Head, Angourie and Foster. Just grab a road map and pull into any beach to check it out, there is plenty of accomodation from camping grounds to hotels and its a great drive. Have fun!!
