The rain is back

We heard it was coming & now we knew our last few days of sun we're a total fluke. When the weather is like this and you are traveling somewhere new, it doesn't spoil the experience, it just makes you more reluctant to do anything.

So after the hundredth beautiful beachside town we landed at Byron Bay. This legendary town would surely inspire some life into us.

Not happening...

We drove around a while and saw the the amazing bay and lighthouse, but now it was time to find a place to camp. Ha.. this place has been booked up for months. The reception staff we basically laughing at us. Fortunately we lucked out and from a good piece of advice ended up at Broken Heads Beach caravan park. Despite the rain, this place was beautiful and out tent site had an unrestricted 180deg view of the ocean. This was also prime camping real estate at $44 a tent site for the night... jaw dropping.

Down at the store where we stopped in to pick up dinner, I finally caught my first glimpse of of the famous Kookaburra from Australia. What a sighting too, a pair of them laughing away and posing so fantastically on the tree branch for the camera. Well pleased!
