Hi Bek, sounds great, you make it so easy. I'll take you up on your offer to rent your partner's mum's place. So the dates I'm interested in are March 4-18. $75 a night sounds great, does that come with a training partner too?

Thanks for the tips on places in Port Macquarie but I'm not a 4.5 stars type of guy, looks like you travel like Belinda Granger. I'm somewhere in between you (4.5 stars) and Doc (sleeping in a car). Thanks so much for your help, this is a once in a lifetime trip for this yankee. I can't believe I'm going to live life as a pro triathlete for 3 months, thank goodness for sabbaticals! You're a rock star!
