Fraser wroteCOLONI've got 3 weeks to kill travelling Oz from the start of February onward. Flying into Sydney and finishing in Cairns, wasn't planning on going to Melbourne, but pretty worth it eh?
it's more of a place to live than visit i'd say. amazing public transit, a friendly/safe downtown core and a huge part of it's charm is finding all the amazing hidden bars and restaurants through word of mouth, but it doesn't have the big tourist attractions that a sydney or the gold coast would have.
but it's an amazing place to live. i could've stayed forever but my visa expired and i didn't want to leave and work on a remote farm in order to extend it.
if you're traveling up the coast from sydney to cairns you will pretty much hit all the major spots. if you've got limited time in aus, that's the chunk of coast to do. stop in at my old hometown mooloolaba and see whats up. super chill beach town.
oh and here's an incredibly awkward recent work photograph
