Sunshine, Breadfruit, Banksia, Prawns, Waves

The sun came out today and it was glorious. After a casual coffee I strolled the 20 meters to Broken Head beach to take a look and found...incredible beach break surf and offshore winds. Ran back to the camper, suited up, and surfed great waves for more than two hours.

After breakfast we took the kids to Byron Bay for a grocery run. We stopped by the magnificent Cape Byron Lighthouse and took in the view and the museum.

Mid afternoon was cheese, crackers, oaky Hunter Valley chardonnay, and beer battered jumbo prawns.

We followed this with a hike through Broken Head Nature Preserve to Broken Head and the secluded back beach and grassy headland out beyond. Along the way we hiked through tunnels of Banksia and Cotonwood forest, chased the kids, and I necked a bit with my cute wife.

In a minute, now that the sun is down, the wind is up, and the bush turkeys, myna birds, and seagulls have turned in, I will start cooking the wild Tasmanian salmon filet and local organic brussel sprouts. Shannon is working on the salad.

Yet another perfect day in New South Wales.

Photos soon...
