I am currently in Newcastle waiting for the Sydney bus. I am so glad the YHA manager in Cairns recommended staying in Port Stevens. Newcastle is a dirty, old port city. It would be depressing to stay here and just watch the tugs taking big container ships in and out of the harbor. Exporting coal of course. Port Stevens YHA is a group of cabins in rainforest set around a swimming pool. There are beaches on the river/bay side and on the Pacific ocean side - but you have to catch a bus to get anywhere. Not a problem, just a little planning needed. Lots of birds around the bay, took a ferry to Tea House, a little village up the river, saw dolpins on the way. Met really nice people in Port Stevens, could have stayed longer but I have a meeting in Sydney tomorrow with a printer. More about my kickstarter.com project later.
