Australia continues to surprise me... it has been sunny and very warm since i came here but today it was below 20°C... brrrrr... rainy and windy. But the good thing is that all the rain has hopefully stopped the fires that have destroyed large areas of land and many houses. Instead of going to Moreton Island we went south to Tweed Heads which is the southest part of Queensland and further sourth to Byron Bay in New South Wales. Byron Bay is an old hippy community and remains its old atmosphere with hippylooking people everywhere. Even though the weather was too bad for sunbathing the waters were crowded with surfers and I admire theire strength to tolerate the cold, but they got wind and good waves. I have been trying out some didges and I wanna buy one and practice while traveling. I really want to buy it from the artist but not in a tourist shop so i will cruise the Aboriginal art shops over the next days.
Tomorrow i am going to Noosa which is north of Brisbane and Sunshine Coast ;)
