Stop 2 - Port Stephens
After another event-free 2 hour car journey we arrived in Port Stephens. Thinking that it would be easy to get accommodation we were proven wrong when all the hostels were fully booked! The only place left was a backpackers camp-site, which luckily rented out tents!! Perhaps more unlikily was the fact that this is New South Wales, home to some of the most dangerous spiders in the world!! We did ok in that the tent we had was already put up and was enormous! What wasn't so funny was Louise noticing the most enormous spider we've ever seen deciding to spend the night on the side of our tent!
Port Stephens was nice with some good beaches. It's supposed to be the place to see wild koalas and kangaroos! Yet again, however, we saw none, except a Joey that the place we were staying was raising! The second day we booked to go sandboarding in the huge sand-dunes, which are apparently the largest moving dunes in the Southern Hemisphere. All we can say is that they were enormous and walking up the dunes after boarding down was absolutely knackering! Deciding to go down the dunes on a sandboard standing up perhaps wasn't the best idea, but hey, the sand tasted good after I fell head-first into the sand!
