Last days in Byron, National Parks and Brisbane

Last days in Byron were really variated: some ioga classes at early morning, surfing for several hours and going out. Ioga classes in Byron was a good place to meet some interesting people: some travelers with difference experiences to share (This country is full of travelers!!). Surfing with bigger waves was an experience completly different: so much difficult and so much speed when you caught them (more adrenaline too!!), I can't wait the next time I'll be riding a wave! The
nightlife in Byron is so variated, but if you are looking for a place to drink and dance, you'll find exactly this and lots of fun. I shared good time there with Dave, a canadian mate who is traveling North too (easy to find him again in our way). I have a really good memories from Byron and the people I met there (thanks Celene, Dave, Matthias,... I hope to see you again).











After Byron, I drove to NightCap National Park, where I stayed a couple of days hiking, and enjoying the rainforest. There I met Tinyan, and thanks to her now I'm here in the University of Queensland, but I'll explain that later.










From Byron beach I saw a beatiful mountain in the skyline, and I proposed myself to climb it. So, that's the reason why I investigated the name of the mountain, and then how to arrive there. Result: The mount Warning is a very well-know place because of its views and its quite typical to climb the mountain to see the sunrise from the summit. So, here we go!! In the bottom of the moutain, where there is an picnic area (this country is amazing, full of picnic areas, so no problems at all to find places where sleep), I met Gareth, an australian mate with same intentions as mine. After a beer (thanks Gareth) and a nice chat we planned the climb together for the next morning (4AM). Beatiful views from the top, a bit crowded because of weekend, but beautiful anyway.












After Mount Warning, I went to The Channon market, an alternative market in Nimbin "vibs" so driving there I picked up Shakshi, a guy involved in a community of Love close to Mnt Warning (I'll visit you mate!!), interesting chatting and new ideas from a really amazing mate.

Lamington National Park is probably the most recomenended National Park of this zone, and now I understand why. Beatiful falls, ancient trees and 160 km to hike!! Stayed there couple of days before driving to Brisbane.


























As a result of Tinyan meeting I drove directly to the University of Queensland to take a look in this Forum of sustainability and enviroment. I liked the vibs of the people and decided to stay here. Interesting conference and workshops, and the people who assist too (most of them students).








In spite of the forum I couldn't resist the temptation to go to Kangaroo's Point, THE urban climb in Australia, lots of routes and nice place to spend the day (like "the fuixarda" in Barcelona, but with better infrastucture). I climbed with Gareth and Xavier (not me an australian one, belive or not!) and got the climb feeling again, so after the climb I wnet directly to the mountain shp and I got the climb stuff I needed for 70$ and now I can join climbers while traveling... hope it's a good idea... we'll see.




This is Brisbane city from the CityCat (fast ferry). This city seems a really cool place to live...
