Dec 9, 2006 - Byron Bay

9th Dec - We arrived in Byron about 12ish and checked into 2 cabins (treat!) for a couple of nights (then we're back to the tent for the rest of the week) & headed into town for lunch.15am, the guy driving the beaten up van was typically 'Byron' and a absolute scream!! We went to Flat Rock beach just outside Ballina and surfed like we knew we could, just turned out we'd picked the wrong beaches and wrong boards to try and surf on! The boards we were given at the shop were simply too short for beginner surfers and so after an exhilirating lesson where we caught virtually every wave we tried for, we headed back to the shop to get larger boards ready for the next day. ... Quiet night in the campsite followed.9th Dec - We arrived in Byron about 12ish and checked into 2 cabins (treat!) for a couple of nights (then we're back to the tent for the rest of the week) & headed into town for lunch.15am, the guy driving the beaten up van was typically 'Byron' and a absolute scream!!

We woke up this morning to find that the wind had finally abated and given way to rain.Sunday 3rd Dec 2006 Well I don't mind admitting when I'm wrong and in this case I have to admit I was wrong!!

Wednesday 25th October 2006 Byron Bay to Ballina (54km) It was perhaps bad karma that made us both wake up at 5am needing the loo. ...
