Coffs Harbour

hello all, how's the snow?
so we have got ourselves some snorkelling gear, shaun bought fins as well to compensate for charlie being a stronger swimmer than him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The beach which is about 15seconds walk from our hotel/motel room door, has very large (>6') waves and a ridculous rip so not so swimmy there but good for fishing. Therefore we have to snorkel further along, there is a nice little bay which turns into a river further up which we did yeasterday and saw some cool stuff. Today we are going around a nature reserve which has coral reef so should be exciting. Shaun having never been snokelling before has just about got the jist of it and is no longer swallowing salt water!

so starting from the beginning we got off the bus and found it a little tricky to find somewhere to stay but we managed to find a motel. we had to share a 5 bed room with another couple inc freyr and mark so 6 people in 5 beds..... was warm! we decided to stay at our Hoey Moey for the remander of our time in Coffs Harbour as it is cheap and really close to the beach!
we postponed our PADI until we are closer to the reef we are thinking of Magnetic Islands for our big swim!
we are getting through our 1l sun screen like it is water! how is the snow working out for ya?

ok so have fun and will update as soon as pos!
