Our Crazy Australian Adventure

So its been a long time since weve updated so here it goes. We bought a station wagon its name is stevie. He has a couple quarks and some of the interior its falling of as we go but hes a good little car. We bought a tent and having been sleeping in campgrounds as we go. When we first left Brisbane we headed to Tweed Heads to register the car. Our first night there and our first night using our brand new tent the heaven's decided to open up and it just poured like crazy! We all didnt have any waterproof clothing and we didnt own an umbrella even so we all got quite soaked and tired to sleep in the tent anyways. In the middle of the night water started seeping through the bottom and we all had to curl up into tiny balls to avoid the water. Lauren's part of the tent was drenched and she ended up sleeping in the car. It was not a good night. Other then that night camping has been fine. We saw a little of a major surfing competion, collected some shells on the beach well we were there. Next we headed to Surfer's Paradise, but did not understand the hype about the city. Its just a lot of sky scrapers, but we went to wet n wild which is a huge water slide park and had a blast. We headed to byron which is were we currently are. This is so far been our favorite place. Our first night here we went to cheeky monkey's the back packer bar. Lauren got picked to enter a competion to win and trip to fraser island and won! We booked a tour there as well as whitsundays here. We also went to Nimbin which is a small hippie town. We walked around there for a bit and had a bbq after. We saw a huge lizard well we were waiting for the food it was probably like 2 feet long but pretty harmless. We also went to this sweet watering hole with a waterfall after and Lauren and I jumped from a rock into it we were both terrified but it was amzing. Yesterday we took surfing lessons from a super crazy man. He was swearing and yelling at evceryone pretty much the entire time. Jenna finally got fed up with him and yelled back "STOP FCUKING YELLING AT ME". Luckily there was another instructor who was very nice and we just avoided the crazy man. None of us have a secret talent for surfing but we all managed to stand up a couple of times. It was hard work though and were all super sore a bruised it looks like someone attacked us. Well thats pretty much it were haeding to brisbane today to drop of some stuff and then our continuing to go north
