Around The World In 80 Waves

After my late afternoon session at Coffs Harbour and a post surf ham and cheese sandwich we jumped in the van and headed north once more through the rain.

The weather was filthy and we had a long way to go but we made good time in the darkness. In search of an evening meal we found a pub in Ballina and walked in just in time to see the first balls of this series of The Ashes being bowled.

We had a great meal and sat on the sidelines whilst the rest of the pub finished off the pub quiz that had been going on all night. I knew loads of the answers but had to bite my tongue. I hate people with quiz-tourette syndrome.

After the meal and a few beers we rolled back out of town to guerilla camp at the truck stop we had seen on the way in. On a year long trip you always have to watch the budget a little bit and parking out the way we weren’t bothering anybody.

We just wanted to avail ourselves of the facilities in the morning, and it was a quiet night. We did not meet any ladies like those in this B movie whilst there. Sadly!
