Kingscliff to Yamba

Fantastic weather and a very scenic coastal run! 

Stood at the most easterly point in Australia and viewed the azure blue Pacific and the  from Byron Bay Lighthouse. Lucky us - a pod of dolphins were performing off the Lighthouse - can they surf those waves! - quite a spectacle!

AND...The first kangaroos were also spotted today! Created some excitement! :)

Morning coffee in the backyard - what a view!

New South Wales here we come!

We cruised down the Gold Coast Highway taking in the sights and sounds of another paradise, savoured a famous Coolangatta Pie, straddled the border and then headed to Kingscliff. Weather and sights stunning!
