THE SKATE GYPSY + 2 AUSTRIANS

DAY 5

Day 5 was epic.  Woke, cooked, packed & bailed - On the road to Coles Bay.  Spirits and vibes were high as everyone was hyped to see the beautiful sites.   First stop was Bicheno op shop where the homies didn't have much luck minus a rad yellow trucker hat with "GOLD COAST" printed on the front, we headed on down to the local skatepark to our surprise had been removed - which sucked but the local ducks by the river kept us entertained.  Foot to the floor and we were again on our way - The Austrians were starting to get a little bummed out they had been in Australia over 2 weeks and still hadn't seen a Kangaroo so the next lot of road kill we spotted we were to pull over and check it out - little did we know we had walked into a wallaby grave yard of some sort with a carcass every 10 metres, we tallied 13 wallabies within a 100 radius so were torn apart by the cars front grill and others were fresh with what looked like bullet holes - we scoped out the whole site and found a bunch of skulls to take home.  Once arriving in Coles Bay we met up with Troy's homie Maz - The Sea Mang who had recently moved down from Sydney.  Maz is a fucking legend and has incredible past stories of sharks, being stuck out at sea for 3 months and has amazing knowledge of the land and how to survive - Maz came equip with a boat which we packed full popped the wine and beers and hit the water for a camping spot and after 20 mins of scouting we found our home for the night - Hazzards Bay.  This was incredible arriving late afternoon before dusk with no soul in site and a million dollar view - The pictures do no justice.  We set up camp and collected copious amounts of wood for a lush fire, we got sloshed and slept under the stars - a night to remember!
