We have arrived!! We arrived at 08:30 local time - making it a 6 day and 30 min trip from New Cal (872 miles). The last 24 hours were mixed. Some sailing, then the wind died, so we motored through the night. We had a huge squall with lots of lightening at around 2am. We got the East Australian Current for a large part of the night adding 2 knots to our boat speed. We are currently at anchor in Coffs Harbour awaiting customs to invite us into the marina for official clearance.
It seems so strange to be in Australia - its the end of the trip in a way - I know we still have 250 miles to go down to Sydney, but this will be our last clearance - 21 countries visited since we left the UK! We've logged over 15,750 miles thus far and the trip down to Sydney will take it over the 16,000 mile threshold - not bad in 15 months!
We'll write more later, but first some sleep and a beer (I may go and find a kangaroo too - just because we're 'down under mate'!)
