The Pet shop boys told us to Go West but we thought we’d do the opposite and Go East. To the most Easterly point on mainland Australia in fact. Never mind good old Captain Cook, it feels a bit like we’re following in good old Cat’s footsteps (how come she seems to do everything first? – Captain Cat has a bit of a ring to it don’t you think?)
Looking at our rough schedule we had pencilled in about 3 days for Byron bay but after 3 hours we’d had enough. I’m sure once upon a time it was a chilled out, alternative haven but today it was just a hot, sweaty bustle of people and noise and traffic. Most of which, I have to say was fellow campervanners! The only thing to hint at it’s aspiring alternativeness these days is the aroma of incense everywhere you go. Like I say we headed off pretty quickly and have settled for the night in a very quiet, chilled out town called Brunswick Heads – maybe we’re getting old!
P.S. No that is not some trendy belt Si is sporting in the pic, it is in fact a bum bag!! Hee hee, Si’s got a bum bag…. (I did promise I wouldn’t tease too much when he threatened not to carry anything for me- but I couldn’t resist! Sorry Si 🙂
