Point Lookout & Surfers’ Paradise
Point Lookout is a half hour far from Byron bay by walk
Once you reach Byron bay lighthouse,don’t turn back,go straight on following the little path that comes down towards the ocean,and in 15 minutes you’ll reach Point Lookout,
the eastern point of Australia!
From point lookout we saw two whales that day,mother and his puppy,jumping out from water,unluckly I didn’t have the right lens…
The ocean was calm enough but the cliff was hit by very high waves,get to close would have been really dangerous
Here’s the eastern rock of Australia!
It was too high to be climbed,and already busy
That is the path that leads to Byron bay lighthouse and Point Lookout,NE corner of the map!
The Surfers’ Paradise is quite close to Byron,a flat or a house behind that beach costs a fortune,given that here you could go to that wonderful beach all the year,winter is not cold at all here!
The water was a bit cold,but surfers don’t mind things like that,there were a lot of people with their board that was going to the car to sleep there and wake up early in the morning only to get good waves!
This place deserve his name,if you come here be prepared,it costs a lot,but it worths absolutely every dollar you’ll spend
Byron Bay Lighthouse
Last weekend we decided to do a promenade
to the byron lighthouse!
The path went through the bush,it was really narrow and the vegetation was so thick that was hard to see all the moving things
The path starts from here,30 minutes by walk to reach the lighthouse,it has been really scary,a freaky australian animal could suddently come out in every moment!
To reach this point we took something like 10 minutes,going quite fast,so it was in the deep bush!
Who one would like to take a seat overthere,where spiders or snakes could bite you in every moment?
There were steps,climbs and descents everywere,we sweated one half hour to get to the lighthouse,but after all the landscape was amazing!
Sometimes we were able to see the ocean,in the middle of the deep forest there were some holes in which it appeared
that seems to be the entrance to dante’s hell
in fact after some minutes we entered in,a girl crossing our street said us that se had just seen 2 brown snakes not so far from there
(if one bites you,you die in 40 minutes)
lucky us,after some hundred metres we heard some creepy noises from left and right,two unknown animals were running away from us,luckly,but we died inside anyway
At last we started seeing the lighthouse,step by step bigger and bigger,and there was no more bush or creepy sounds!
After the lighthouse we went on walking,till the Point Lookout,near the seaside,the eastern point of australia
All in the next post,stay tuned!
Byron Bay
Our 2nd week end in Byron
here’s some photos
That’s the main beach of byron,the one in which all the people come to sunbathe,to do some surf,to lay on the greengrass playing a guitar or simply to relax!
Even if it’s still spring is often really hot,and in spite of all the sea monster people go anyway in the sea,swimming or surfing
That day we didn’t take so much sun,but last weekend we have come back to byron,walking till lighthouse,and the sun has shined all the time!
If you decide to come to Byron,you are warned!it’s full of hippies,drunks and strange people,but it’s a beautiful place,if you come in australia that’s a must!
That’s the hostel in which we stayed 1 night,it costs 25 $ in a 10 people room,it’s really nice,internet point quite cheap,free dinner from 7 to 8 pm if you take a drink and most of all,a swimming pool you can use anytime!
Our room!In which room there’s a bathroom with shower and a door that leads to another little room,for two people only,but you pay much more for that..
Here it is,the hostel swimming pool!
That night was sourrounded by backpackers drinking beer,and there was “jaws” (lo squalo) screened,just to prepare to sunday beach time…
Kookaburra
The Australian animal I love more
is not the kangaroo,
or the koala,
how banaal it would be!
It’s a little funny bird,
that laughs every time he tweet!
You can hear him from far far away!
Today I have been so lucky to meet one from so close!
He first noticed us,then we did!
We took some pieces of meet to bring him closer,
but he didn’t trust us at all!
Here is cleaning is beak,a lot funny,
most of all when he beated it several times on the brunch!
But today was windy,and the meat’s smell was too attractive!
Once he decided,he flew toward us in a rush,
taking all he was able to take!
He liked and he came twice in few minutes,grabbing with his bech and his claws
Then,once sated,he has flown away
Mullumbimby
The post you are going to read
is being written and it has been
photographed in Mullumbimby,
665 leftbank road,new south wales!
Come here to tell me ciao!
Here’s the place in which we stayed for 1 week,and in which we will have to rest for 7 more!
That’s the place in which we sleep every night!
when the sun goes down,there are a lot of creepy sounds!
That’s the place where we were supposed to sleep,but was so full of bugs and the girls didn’t want to rest there!
So it has become our wardrobe!
The house in which we get meals is twenty feet from our tent,son after being waken up we get breakfast in 30 minutes,then we start working,7 hours by day,raining ones included 🙂
The house stands right in behind our tent,and the tend is between the house and the caravan “wardrobe”
Thats the sitting room and the kitchen,that we share with two puppets,in front of this room there’s a beautiful bush landscape,behind one room and some stairs that leads to the boss bedroom
Here’s the room behind the kitchen!
And our cooking size!
That’s the landscape we see from the sitting room-kitchen!
The bathroom and the shower have been built here,300 mt from the house and 100 from our tent,but during night the creepy crawling noises of the bush take me really far from here!
The shower is amazing,you can see what happens outside,but from outside anybody can’t see you!
Opera House
Opera House is gorgeous
The symbol of sydney stands
right close to Harbour Bridge,
one step to the sea,
and three from my heart.
And that`s the sight
from the right side of Opera!
Hyde Park Sydney
Today I turned into a kid
Today we have been in Hyde Park,
a quite big park really close to our hostel.
I have got so close to a kind of animal never seen before,
here it is
once they smell something to eat the all come in a rush
All the Ibis came close to me
seeing that I had a lot of bread!
The temptation was too much,
so I grabbed his beak for some seconds!
but then he stopped trusting me…
smaller birds are always hungry,
cause ibis and bigger animals do bullies
and always steal them food!
never seen that bird before.
Australia is a world apart!
