Australia has been nothing short of amazing when it comes to observing wildlife, kangaroos, whales and dolphins but one thing I didn't expect to see were penguins.

The most beautiful and peaceful place in Australia, Seal rocks
Seal rocks were recommended to us from Iain’s family as it is a good surf spot, (neither of us can surf) but, the drive-through from Forster to Seal rocks is beautifully located as there is a lake on one side and the sea on the other.
The most easterly point of Australia and all the Hippys
Byron bay was definitely one of my favourite places we visited on this trip, (so much so I forgot to take a lot of pictures!!!) it was a super hippy, surfer town. Lots of wacky colours (do the Aussies spell colours with a u?) vintage shops, and crazy dudes but it was so nice. It is also home to Chris Hemsworth’s family mansion (we considered searching for it but it seemed to be amongst the rainforest and quite secluded - very, very sad times).
Eat street markets – Brisbane
We went to Brisbane’s Eat street market, which was the most amazing food market I think I have ever been too. On the outside it looked like large pieces of Lego, built up of brightly painted shipping containers, inside it was a lot more open and the containers made up the walls with an open roof. (My first thought was what do they do if it rains? But it’s Australia and it apparently doesn’t rain an awful lot).
Kangaroos and a Sunrise – Cape Hillsborough (promise of Kanga pics)
If you’ve been following my trip down the east coast of Australia you will maybe have realised there is a lack of Kangaroo. I honestly thought kangaroos were going to be everywhere (probably very naive of me).
The Whitsundays – Australia travels continued
This weekend we visited the Whitsundays, we boarded a one-night two-day boat called ‘Summertime’, we booked this trip whilst we were staying at our hostel in Cairns and managed to get it for $100 cheaper than what was being advertised in the brochure (obviously down to our Scottish charm).
