Queensland Easter long weekend

Very unfortunate for us, but this maybe the last little travelling we do without our little hitch-hiker.  As fall in upon us we headed up north to Queensland again for warmer weather and to visit a few friends. Our travels took us from the Gold Coast, to Byron Bay, and on to Brisbane.

The weekend starts off the way it should, Jo attracting stink bugs in her hair.

 

The weekend was extremely busy with no accommodation. We had to settle for a hole in the wall but it was alright because the beach was 10 feet from our door. The view of Gold Coast City in the Background.

Byron Bay, considered an ideal spot for its bush and beach. Subsequently as it is highly sought after, it is also filled with Hippies and their hippy wares. Beads, bracelets, busking...ect A view from lighthouse rock.

Several kilometres of paradise...

 One of the main reasons for the trip was to catch up with our good friends Jarvis and Lauren.  They had moved up to QLD with work in the airforce. They also have one of the cutest 2 year olds Jayda.
