Hi guys,
This is Javi from Spain, 30 years old. I ended my degree and worked for few years in Spain and now I have a kind of year off (due to economic crisis, but I have money and time!! ), so I decided to travel over Australian East Coast starting in Sydney in march (where I want to spend a month aprox.) and ending at Cairns in June.
I will flight next Febrary 28th, but I havn't decide yet if to bring my kiteboarding gear to Australia or not. In case not, plan B is to buy a surf board there and learn surfing waves that seems another very good option (Actually I can combine both options!...)
To decide it:
1) What about wind and spots to expect? How many days a week of good wind? What are the best spots flat water or good waves (not choppy) ?
2) I will go alone there, but I hope to meet other kiters there, and if it is posible to share this amazing trip with them. Are there further kite travelers or locals there to share this amazing trip with?
3) What make me doubt more is the acomodation.. If I finally travel alone, I gess I will sleep many night in backpackers hostels, and the security of my gear in a shared room, I do not know....What do you think?
Any recomendation, advise, kiters to meet in Australia, will be pretty wellcomed!
Good winds!
Javi from Spain
PD -Sorry about my english, That's another reason to travel Australia :)...
Its pretty well all over by then along the nSW coast (it has been pretty ordinary anyway since christmas due to L nina but the waves have been good when it has blown (on ave 1-2 days per week) I,m not sure about QLD
Hi mate,
from Mackay to Cape Flattery it will blow around this time.
Give us a shout once you in the Townsville region and you can come kiting with us.
Check out some kiting spots on our website:

Have a good trip
hasta luego amigo 
re: accomodation. get a van like all the other euro's- can buy and then sell when you leave or hire (google wicked campers)
and you can sleep in the van and drive it wherever.
