Byron and family

Picked up my rental car and headed for Byron Bay this morning. As per previous experiences I struggled a bit with the technology in the new car. With the help of Google I managed to connect the phone but had to wait for the combined efforts of my sister and nephews to find the park brake (is a button on the dash right of the steering wheel).
The trip down to Byron was long with lots of traffic. The community markets were on Byron and it was so busy. I’m sure I saw more people there than I did the whole time I was on Norfolk Island. I met my sister and we wandered around the markets before meeting two of my nephews. They were all on a quest for sugar cane juice which we eventually found. It’s literally made by squeezing the sugar canes. We then went out to The Farm where we met nephew number 3 and had done lunch. It’s a lovely setting selling locally made produce and delicious looking food. They had a band playing. We bought some takeaway and sat on their picnic area enjoying that before going for a walk to look at the various animals and gardens. Jenny explained the principles of the food forest they have.
We then all separated. I went up to the lighthouse but it was so crowded there was not a park to be had anywhere. So I drove back down and headed to Nimbin which is where I am now. The drive was lovely but very windy.
I’m not sure what the reception is like at Jenny’s so there may not be a blog tomorrowLue lisää
