Well this is me standing outside our latest mode of transport - The infamous Greyhound Bus! This has taken us the whole way down the east coast from Mission Beach to Sydney (but that's for another blog!)
So Bryon Bay - jaw dropping beaches, a wonderful chilled out hippie vibe and an abundance of 'soap dodgers'! (Keith's latest name for the 'younger' generation of backpackers)
We really had a bit of a ball here just enjoying true Australian beach life!
It wasn't all lazing around as we did embark on an early morning, that is a 4.15am alarm call to see the sun rise at Cape Byron. This is the most easterly point in Oz and is the first place to see the sun. Whilst you lot were all having your tea on the previous day - we were watching the sunrise on your next day - that's one way of thinking about it!
Notice the crowd at the rails watching the first rays. The soap-dodgers were moaning all day about having to get up so early!
This is the famous lighthouse at cape Byron (from various angles!).
This is us enjoying a sweet cider and a beer (disguised as a cup of tea - and no sister, Sandersfields and Jenny & Andy, we will not be providing evidence) with pizza and garlic bread on the beach! Everybody does it so it would be rude not to join in!
A free cup of tea to anyone who can guess who gave Byron Bay its name.
A BIG HAPPY BIRTHDAY to our niece Erin for the 19th December - hope you enjoyed your time in Philly and have a great Christmas at home with the family.

This is how you score a point, Chris.
And Chris, here's how you get mugged for a free cup of tea. You're the first to reply with the answer "Lord Byron". Mugged a treat every time.
And then the sod goes right to my jugular and sends photos of my Achilles heel....gorgeous beaches! Really, why do I play along with this??
I've no idea how this can happen. Keith and Suzanne phoned us and at the end of the phone call told us that the blog had just been updated and that there was still a point to be won. I run downstairs to find Sissy J has already beaten me to it. And twice.
Still - both of us are ahead of Elvis Junior!
Now I can only assume that Keith and Suzanne are ringing everyone and telling them the same thing!
It was great to hear from them though - they're both in very good health even though Keith looks like a washboard, and both send Christmas wishes to family and friends.
So while we're on, hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year - wherever you are.
