When we said that Byron Bay was a throw back to the 60's - we were wrong. It is nothing but a false front. We left Suffolk Bay on Monday morning having had a relaxing 2 days and decided to drive north via a very convoluted path through the hinterlands of the North Rivers area. We first stopped in Lismore - 
a pleasant community inland from the coast about 30 Km. After spending some time in an internet cafe - and doing some guitar shopping - (yes Chris - I did get one!!!) we were off again through the hills into the Nimbin Valley.

living peacefully in this small community. Throw back doesn't quite cover it. All you childen of the 60's would feel at home here.

After a wander through the town (it is quite small) - back on the road through the Tweed Valley on some lovely twisty/windy roads till we came back to the coast and ended up in Tweed Heads for the evening. Now we are sitting on the border of NSW and Queensland - ready to cross over state lines, change time zones (Queensland has chosen not to participate in the Daylight Savings Scheme) and begin the final leg of this part of our journey.

Great isn't it to go back in time to the good old 'flower power' era!! and the thing is they love it, time stands still.. Plenty of organic stuff, did you manage to get a boost juice??
And now your in Queensland, lots of good things to look forward too.. I can just imagine you, a nice glass of wine on a beautiful beach under the stars and Lei playing her guitar, sounds good hey!
