Poured and poured rain last night, thank god we fixed the window leak!
Had cold showers on the beach then headed north to Ballina.
Drove through lots of sugar cane plantations and sugar refineries. Sugar cane is slightly eerie- but corn plantations are totally freaky (thanks Stephen King!).
We visited the Big white Prawn (now closed down and has faded to white) and the medium Pineapple ( found at the Bp fuel station). Then went to the Macadamia castle and sampled some toasted macadamias, and got happy snaps next to the medium sized knight.
We also visited the 'Thursday Island Tea Tree' plantation where we learnt all about distilling tea tree (pretty much the same way they do eucalyptus) and its vast array of healing qualities.
Found a nice secluded park next to the beach for tonights stop over.
We seem to be traveling a bit faster now, we are keen to get up north past Brisbane.
Highlight today: driving past all the eerie sugar cane!
