Welcome To Byron Bay!

In my last post (about seeing the World's Largest Prawn in Ballina) I may have forgot to mention that I was on my way to Byron Bay for Splendour in the Grass! We turned a 30 minute highway drive into a 4 hour adventure. It was so much fun, even though it was super rainy and the views weren't as great as they would have been. Australia is spectacular all the same!

^^ Same spot only post 4 days "trapped" in the most awesome music filled madness weekend of my life^^

^^This is The Cape Byron Lighthouse, probably the most super famous landmark on the east coast (sorry World's Largest Prawn)^^

After driving around in Byron Bay and checking out the lighthouse and such, we stopped for a quick bite to eat before heading off to Splendour in the Grass. I'm not too sure how the rest of the food tastes in Byron Bay but I had "Byron Bay's Biggest Burger" which was pretty huge (last photo above) except for the burger patty. Awkward. The hippy's dream smoothie was the bomb though. Trent got a chicken burger and a flu fighter tea thing, heaps of ginger and cayenne, not my cup of tea... he he he. Corny tea jokes aside, it was a half decent meal but it all came to $40 which was a little pricey. From what I've seen of Byon Bay (not much!) it's beautiful and I can't wait to go back! 

Next stop... Splendour in the Grass!!!

Whale Watching in Australia!

Okay, today I'm sharing something crazy exciting to me. I went whale watching! (And obviously, I'm living in Australia...) It was thrilling, chasing the whales. We ran down a break wall with the camera trying to get the perfect shot of the whales. I think I might understand why nature photographers do it, although I'm horrible at putting my face behind the camera, I just want to see it in real life!

We saw two whales! Awesome! They were travelling together and were pretty playful, flicking their tails out of the water and splashing about. Apparently, humpback whales are usually more playful (like this!) I can't wait to see a whale do that, I think it'd be spectacular! If I get any pictures, I'll post them! I'm so thrilled to have seen these whales, and I've caught a glimpse of a few others while checking out the surf on some of my favourite headlands (just without my camera, oops!)

This is one of those things that goes on the "Reverse Bucket List," things that I have done that astounds and amazes me.
