After our successful koala sighting we headed up to Byron Bay to check out rentals as we considered moving up there for our final week. Byron Bay is a lot like Santa Barbara, very chichi with nice stores and restaurants and lots of people. After a drive around town it didn’t take us long to realize we would rather have the pristine empty beaches of the yamba area, we did not come to Australia to spend time with a bunch of yahoos on holiday.
We did go up to the Byron Bay lighthouse, a picture of the lens of which I have included here. The lens was huge, it was like a big eye, I would have loved to have seen it lit. This lighthouse was built here in 1901, the furthest east point of land on the Australian continent.
I managed to twist my ankle and take a chunk out of my knee as we were meandering up the paved pathways around the lighthouse. As greg said, I do fine on logs spanning creeks, 15' above raging creek beds, but have trouble in parking lots and airports. Aside form the blood decorating my shin, the damage wasn’t to bad. After reiki, and traumeel cream, I was ready to surf the next day. Whew, as when I went t o bed I could hardly walk!
i finally made it out to Shelly's beach the other day...it was a good walk, i went by the path this time. the shells were amazing out there, the rocks had sorted them. it was nice to be by myself for a while.
