Our journey on the road and 'started Tuesday' last, after a Easter tour de force at Pancakes on the rocks pretty hard ...
We left Sydney on board a Mitsubishi Lancer (machine which was ignoring the existence!) Color unwatchable and indescribable that we have saddled luck x instead of the Hyundai Getz we had booked ...
We started at large: in front of the garage was a bit of car 'traffic and Vito and' party now in the right lane ... excellent! Anyway after this little slip of a roundabout and take the opposite the next day and 'all went well and the left-hand drive no longer has' no problems! I doubt when you cross the street on foot instead remain ...!! =) Thanks to tomtom
we could just get out of Sydney and take the Pacific Highway! After a few kilometers we decided to deviate inwards towards the Hunter Valley. We arrived to Cessnock and then we had to get lost among the vineyards, taking the road that inspires us more '... From faux connoisseurs we stopped to taste the wines the winery Hungerford Hill and then I tried the famous ginger beer at the Brewery Blutongue ... crap! In any case
more 'in Australia seemed to be in the Tuscan countryside ...

As we were driving came out of the Hunter Valley before you get drunk and we went to our first stop: PORT STEPHENS!
The hostel I found on the Lonely Planet and it 's the thing most' beautiful I have ever seen ... wooden bungalows set in a grove of eucalyptus connected together with paths and walkways ... The owners live there 'and have in the house every imaginable type of birds as pets and have a very sweet dog and a baby kangaroo (when I saw it in the garden did not want to believe !)... In the evening there are possums that jump from tree to tree by day you can see koalas (in the morning when we woke up there was one!).

The next morning we woke up at 6 to go and see the sunrise over the sand dunes. It 'was a breathtaking performance ... purple and pink sky above an expanse of endless sand and the sparkling sea of \u200b\u200bindescribable color ...
not yet fed up with strong emotions Dani and I went for a hike in the bay on a catamaran. We saw dolphins and the views of the bay from the boat and 'was really spectacular ...
Then we ended the day on a deserted beach with clear water ... nothing to do with the beaches of Sydney ...
Towards evening we reluctantly left Port Stephens, but not before savagely eaten there half a water melon in the parking lot in front of Anna Bay Thai Restaurant in the expectation that opened Thai Restaurant 'cause he wanted to make Vito snack noodles take away ... yuck! =) Travelling at night when the street 'and everything straightened around and' dark 's a bit boring ... anyway we managed to reach our second goal, namely PORT MACQUARIE!

the morning we got up early and we rented three bikes at the hostel.
Bad idea! Port Macquarie and 'a whole up and down and my bike had the front wheels sgonfissime ... We had a hard work useless!
Port Macquarie and 'very nice and well-kept: there' a blade of grass out of place ... Xo 'right to the head of the National Geographic to establish a place x pensioners: and 'full of tree houses with gardens and all the same-pool table!
Anyway, Port Macquarie and the bikes we were tired early, so 'in the morning we took the Pacific Highway north.

We stopped for lunch beside a limpid stream in a place called Hat Head and then in the afternoon we arrived in Bellingen. The weather was terrible ... rain and cold! X Luckily the hostel very hot oven and soft duvets that reminded me of home ...
X the next day we planned to visit the Dorrigo National Park.
We walked for about 5-6 km in the middle of the rain forest, the place that I think is more 'moist earth, in the midst of strange plants and huge trunks accompanied by the song of birds unseen but noisy! We just left the forest just before calasse a thick fog and we put back into the street.

The initial idea was to go to Byron Bay and pass them 'the night, but we could not find a hostel free, so we stopped just before Lennox Head ! Nothing copere
sheets for the bed and ... if you want to pay ... but so much "should be warm ...

I slept with the bathrobe and a sweatshirt and I'm frozen!
But luckily we found nice people in hostel with which to chat and gave us some advice on Brisbane.
the morning, however, we soon put back in the car, a little 'xche' time and it sucked a bit 'cause we were curious to see Byron Bay and our trip was coming to an end now!
Byron Bay is not 'absolutely what I expected. I thought it was a very messy and tourism, and is instead 'a very quiet town, full of shops hippie '60s and '60s hippie people ... We came to the lighthouse at Cape Byron (a grind!) And from there 'the country does not even see ... only a few roof that rises among the trees and white sandy beaches and long!
Cape Byron and 'the highest point' to the east of Australia!

From Byron Bay to Brisbane I drove me, because 'the guys were busy with a sandwich "foot long" Subway!
And so 'we did our first 1,000 km of Australia!
