End of an Era (for now)

The time of surfaris is finally over. Due to a host of factors, not least conditions and injuries This is the first week in a while that I'm not in the sea. I realise that I haven't really described what it was all about all that well, but I found when I was in South Africa last year that if I put absolutely everything I've done on this here blog, I'll have nothing to tell you when I get back. For those of you salivating for more details though, we stayed at Yuraygir National Park in various campsites. Absolutely beautiful spots that I'd love to return to. And it seems that that is in the pipeline (forgive the pun). There's talk of some of us returning to the wilderness in early May, after we've done a few various things, such as Frasier Island, etc. After arsing about in the North for a while we'll meet up back down in Byron, fully recharged, and hopefully not injured, to embark upon another week (or maybe two) of surfing. I am actually missing it loads. Not only the surfing but the whole outdoorsy sleeping in tents, the campfires, the sound of the sea as you go to sleep. City life's shit in comparison. Oh yeah, and I'm back in a city now. Brisbane to be precise. I met up with Clever Claire last night (lived with her in 3rd year of uni) which was cool. Everyone was knackered though so it wasn't a late one. Mind you, I get the feeling Claire returned to her hostel to tie one on.

I'm not entirely sure why I'm in Brissy as I'm once again a bit directionless. However, the north looks good and maybe Andy and I will hook up for a bit of island hopping japery. Never know though. I think he's in Innisfail at the moment. Hmmm, actually Glenda, drop me a mail or ring me or something! Right, I'm off to score some food now. I was threatening to get ill over the last couple of days (a bastardised hybrid of Irish and Canadian illness which has been mercilessly slaying surfaris members left right and centre) but I do believe I've managed to beat it. Feeling a bit better today. Well, that belly rumble's sealed it. Food time.

Oh yeah, photos will be going up tomorrow in the usual place, click the photos bit at the top and then look for my public albums. It'll probably be under surfaris or something equally as imaginative.
