Now, the question remains, what should I do in Taree, there is nothing and backpackers only make shopping stop there.

The father of the family told me.

"Hey Jass, take the train, Six-Country Link trains arrive daily, three drive to Sydney and three drive in the north."

In Australia, you have the habit to shorten or extend names.

For example, Rodney changes to Rod and John to Johnno.

That’s strange, but typical for the Aussies.

I stayed one night in Taree in a hostel with 8 beds rooms. Luckily I was not invaded by debug as my bed neighbor.

But so we got to talking and decided together to take the train direction to Brisbane.

In the train we decided to make for some days a stop in Coffs Harbour.

At Coffs, we visited the South Solitary Lighthouse, what a wonderful view of the coast, The Big Banana that´s the symbol of Coffs, many national parks and went every Sunday to the weekly market where you could buy everything cheaper.

We lived by an elderly lady as Host.

Host refers to people who allow backpackers to sleep at them for a small price or household help.

When we had both seen much, we decided to move on to Brisbane after 15 days.

There, our Host-Family laid us near, to take a view from the tower of City Hall or to take a ride in the Wheel of Brisbane.

Most of our time we spent in South Bank Parklands because there is offers everything and you meet many other backpackers.

As my companion decided to stay in Brisbane even longer, I moved on alone.

The fact that the bus was too expensive and too slow, I decided to come to Surfers Paradise as a Hitch-hiker.

At Surfers arrived, I was really hit from the city, now I can understand that it´s also often is called “the South Miami”.

I surfed at the best beaches and visited the Sea World and Movie World.

Surfers Paradise is breathtaking, it gives life.

After 18 days full of life and fun I continued to drive by bus to Byron Bay.

In the morning I surf or dive with many others and the afternoon I visited a lot in nature, for example the secret waterfalls.
