OK - rain wasn't forecast so we planned to drive south for a couple of hours and spend at least part of the weekend at Byron Bay. I was last here more than 20 years ago and at that time I swam with sea turtles, dolphins and small sharks and touched the velvety inside of a giant clam - all very memorable. But today it is raining...!! We are staying with Peta's parents, Bruce and Carlene and they are sooo hospitable. We have the run of a 'granny annex' and the boys are delighted to be able to play with their corgi, Jock. It takes us a while to get out of the house as nobody (except me) is keen to go outside!

Volcanoes across the water. We didn't let the rain deter us and all of us (except Patrick) went swimming/body surfing. Mind you, it was freezing out of the water and the wind turned both the brollies inside-out! EVERYBODY else who was in the water had wetsuits on....
When the rain cleared we walked out to the lighthouse along a boardwalk and saw DOLPHINS - yippee! So this is us at Australia's most easterly point - next stop New Zealand. With the sky darkening, we ran all the way back to the car and headed back for dinner with Carlene, Bruce and a friend of theirs.
