Byron Bay

On to Byron Bay today as we farewelled our beloved Noosa and of course QLD.  It was a sad moment as we crossed the border back into familiar territory filled with yellow number plates.  We all cheered when we saw the "Welcome to New South Wales" sign, but I must admit it was pretty sad to say good bye to such as beautiful state.  And almost instantly we felt the cold weather and shivered over the border.  The kids travelled beautifully colouring in most of the way and singing and grooving for the last hour as we hit civilisation.  We've come to stay at the caravan park on Clarke's Beach again and this time we're backing on to the beach which is pretty special and a fitting end to a splendid holiday.  We took our time getting organised this afternoon and hung out meeting the neighbours and other people staying at the park.  We headed into town for a drive and then stopped in at the famous Byron Bay Hotel for a few beers before venturing down the road for some Thai.  It was lovely and just as good as the last time we were here.  The kids ate till they could eat no more and happily coloured in as Rick and I scoffed everything in sight.  Home to bed with full belly's and to listen to those gorgeous waves crashing just outside our window.  What a magic way to end the day.  Cooktown feels like a million miles from here, and it is.  What a shame Lindfields so close.
