Lennox Heads

Harry, Ray, Ketrina, Jimmy and Ben on the large Balcony of our holiday flat.

As you can see the beach wasn't far away.

Ben, Jimmy (with Harry), Ketrina with Ellys, me and Ray.

The flat has been for sale for a while. I wonder if it's because of the prize tag. $629.000 for a 2 bedroom flat seems to be a bit too much if you ask me.

You get free smell from the fish and chips shop underneath and you don't need to get an alarm clock because the guys in the shops seems to start working at 4.30 in the morning. But I doubt this justifies the prize. - Real estate prizes in Australia are crazy. They just don't know it yet because they don't look outside the island to other countries.

The beach at Lennox Heads. I went every morning for a swim before breakfast. There were a lot of algies in the water unfortunatly. But only near our flat.

Ballina

On the river in Ballina.

A sleepy country town which main feature was the Highway from Brisbane to Sydney that went through a good part of the town.

After the bypass will be complete the town will be much more attractive.

Broken Head

The day we arrived we had a couple of showers and the last day we had a couple of showers too but the rest of the week was great. Not too hot because of the clouds.

This day the surf was very good. Gentle and long lasting.

Famous also for sharks and other large sea creatures. We saw 3 large bull sharks circling around here. They were larger than the people walking not far away on the beach.

I didn't have my camera when we spotted the sharks but it was right here.

A new walk I had not discovered yet. An alternative route to the light house leads through a stretch of dense rain forest.
