Monday 7th February – Newcastle, Australia
My time in Newcastle was rapidly coming to an end, and I had to spend the day sorting out my next moves as well as enjoying what time I had left here. I love Newcastle, and I know I will be coming back here before my time in Australia was over. It’s nice to have been here in the summer months, but now I was heading north.

Saturday 5th February – Newcastle, Australia
It had been a great night sleep last night, the first in a very long time, and it set me up nicely for the day ahead. I had planned to go to the beach in the morning, much like any other, and the sun was shining as it always does here.
