Travelling Australia

We have had beautiful warm weather this last week so we thought it was a good time to do a “Beach Crawl”.  We started with Burleigh Heads a few days ago. Bloody hell….we didn’t recognise the place! There are so many new high rise apartments getting built. The skyline was full of cranes which I know is progress, but the taller these buildings get….the more  shadows cross over the sand.  A lot of the apartments have been knocked down now….and where Mum and Dad lived…..that 2 story building is dwarfed by huge buildings.  Their old unit….and their new neighbours….

It promotes itself as “The Biggest Little Town in Australia” and was given the name by Aboriginal people meaning Small Round Hill. Population 3,500 We put Mullumbimby into Google maps and of course it took us the long way. We had to laugh as if there’s a dodgy way to go….we will find it ……if there’s a road that’s so narrow as it winds up the steepest of mountains….we will find it.. 🤣🤣 But we crawled along as cars coming towards us were racing down the hill…. As I was inching my way up it with a huge drop on my side of the road 😳😳 So when we finally arrived…we were gobsmacked at the amount of people in the town…..and it was so hard to find a car park…..which we finally found, with a long walk.  Well this town was a real eye ope
