Landing in Ballina airport was not quite the west of Ireland we were semi-hoping for. Byron Bay is gorgeous, we spent a few days chilling out and being 'healthy', I flew the flag going to a few yoga sessions. Next Ann joined us from Brisbane, it had been 2 years since I had seen her.....well it was a mighty reunion :) beach session, apres beach sessions, hippy trip to Nimbin and a few chilled out gigs with a few 'rack offs' thrown in! We then went back up to Brisbane with Ann who showed us around her new home town. We had a great time having kanga banga BBQ's and meeting her house mates Jo-el and Leroy. We held Koala bears, petted and fed Kangaroos (after eating their cousins the night before), went to a come
dy gig and walked all around the city.Next it was off to Fraser Island to explore. We had a good group of 12 who bundled into an freelander, tight squeeze but good craic. We saw so much wildlife things I'd never seen before: Humpback Whales, Dolphins, Sea turtles, Tiger Sharks, Eel Rays, Manta Rays, Tuna and a King Brown (second most deadly snake in the world and he reared up!) A great 3 day trip camping and exploring.
Back to Brisbane for one last night with Ann - Thanks so much for such a great time Ann, I can't wait to see you in July! Photos are here.
