• Day 5

    Moving on

    April 11 in Australia ⋅ ⛅ 26 °C

    As our stay in Byron Bay came to an end, we packed up the car and decided to make one more trip to the downtown area.
    Not sure if it was the school holiday, just because it was Friday or because we were a little later getting to town but it definitely seemed busier than the day before.
    Gillian and I posted our postcards and after picking up a couple more souvenirs we said goodbye to BB and headed North.
    A quick stop at the Costco gas in Coomera and then we tackled the traffic through Brisbane.
    Coming out the north side we found a spot to have a picnic lunch along the water before heading to our destination for the night, Toorbul.
    Toorbul is a sleepy little town with a small population but apparently it has regular kangaroo visitors throughout town!
    We didn’t see any on our way to the Airbnb and even as we drove around after getting fish and chips for dinner we were starting to think the multiple warnings about ‘Roos was a big red herring and suddenly there they were! At first it was a large group hanging out beyond a fence along the road and then a little further down the road more right alongside 😳
    So cool to actually see them in the “wild” - a true Australian experience 😍
    As Kevin rightly commented - very much like seeing deer along the road back home 😜
