As you may have already read, this week my little bro left Byron and headed back to the UK after 7 weeks of soaking up the Aussie sun and riding the waves with me. Despite all our pre Oz banter and planning we didn’t achieve much during his stay – we basically surfed all day and partied all night! Which was fine! But here’s my Top Ten Things We Should’ve Done!
1. Dived Julian Rocks
We were sooooo close to doing this, unfortunately our delayed Skydive messed up our plans!
2. Roadtripped To Noosa
It was bang up there on the list, hit Noosa, surf and chillax
3. Surfed Burleigh Heads
After stopping off briefly to check the swell on the way back from the airport I promised him we’d surf there. It didn’t happen!
4. Sailed the Whitsundays
There was talk of an East Coast tour, including hitting the Whitsundays, it’s now delayed for when we come back to Oz in a few years.
5. Partied in Cairns
Part of the East Coast carnage would’ve included a stop off in Cairns – Woolshed, Gilligans and Rhino bar nights out? Not this time!
6. Gone Fishing
It kept getting put off, so simple yet unachievable!
7. Got Messed up in Surfers
This was fully going to happen – then my van broke :(
8. Explored Around Byron
Again the lack of van hindered this – although we did surf a lot around the Byron area.
9. Extended his Stay to Watch The Cat Empire
He had planned too, but couldn’t in the end. Maybe I’ll catch them with him in October in Brizzle?
10. Partied Harder!
Over the last few weeks I’ve worked loads, would’ve been nice to take a few more days off work to get more done and party harder. Dam me needing the money and being shattered!
