Sara+Malte, Yamba (April-May)

Glasshouse Mountains

The Glashouse Mountains are just an hour drive up north from Brisbane. They are the remains of vulcanic activity.

Surftrip #2 to Yamba

We went for a second surf trip to Yamba, 4 hours south of Brisbane near Balina.
My little car. A Honda Civic 1986 model. Automatic and working A/C included. I had some trouble with overheating but since the fan switch is fixed it's almost fine. Cars last longer here. This old little car looks almost new from the distance.

Yamba - Back Beach

This great beach was the only one with a little bit of surf this day. It does look flat but the waves were quite good occasionally.

Noone else here on a lazy Saturday afternoon.

Shade from the rocks. It's time to go home. At the end of summer it's not that hot anymore.

Byron Bay

We went for a surf here. I mean Jeremy went. It was too rough for swimming and body surfing and the waves sucked dry. That means I got smashed on the sand the one time I tried.
Byron gets more and more touristy each time I visit it.

Same Beach with Byron's Main Beach in the back.

Finally a nice view at the lighthouse with a rainbow behind it. Good bye Byron, let's see how you will have changed the next time I'll visit you.

A nice spider on the walk around the Glasshouse mountains lookout. It wasn't as big as it looks in the photo.
