Byron Bay

After Brisbane, we set course for Byron Bay, a couple of hours south. Before getting on the highway, we made a stop at Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary a few minutes outside of Brisbane. It was fun! Emi jumped alongside the roos, and we looked at the sleepy koalas while they barely seemed to take notice of us.

Byron Bay is a beach bum paradise. Long stretches of white, sandy beaches and a town that looks like backpacker city. We're staying a few minutes out of town. Our first night was spent in a pink house, to Emi's delight. It was only available for one night, so we found a motel at the other side of town, which has a salt water pool, a BBQ (of course), some palm trees and everything we need.
