Had the most stressful day ever on the way to Byron...we ended up laughing and saying it won't all be sunshine and roses. Started off leaving Brisbane and needing to register the car (realised this was the last day before we'd have to pay a fine) turns out it was a massive pain to register the car in Queensland. So we had to cross the border into New South Wales shapish. Had to drive miles to a government centre. They then needed proof of address...as we've been massive gypos we don't have an address that isn't Rosie. So we had to drive to Byron bay check into a hostel then drive back with a receipt. Got caught in a huge storm. I'm talking blazing sunshine then it was like someone turned the light off in the sky and it poured down for half an hour. Ten the sun came back out?
Eventually got settled in Byron bay on the hostel car park. Slept.
Next day was much better! Decided we needed to chill after the stress an had a beach day...I burnt. A lot! But Byron bay has loads of beaches which are just full of surfers and whales. Say there watching them flip and come up to the surface for ages. Such a hippy place it's ace. Went shipping for a while then took a long walk all up hill to a lookout point by the lighthouse. Most easterly point of Australia you can see all the dolphins and whales from up there. Found a spot for the night (we were actually going to check into a campsite until they told us they wanted $45 for a car parking space?) then I actually put makeup on (shame it's all melted) and we went out for a few drinks.
Off to port Macquarie today. Last stop before Sydney!
