OK, so first an apology. It's been about two weeks since I last blogged, and so much has happened in that time. We had a house full of wonderful friends over the period between Xmas and New Year and so it's been a bit difficult to get some time to myself to blog. Hopefully the multitude of posts that follow will make up for my tardiness in getting back to bloggy-business. You also need to meet Malte, who has been staying with us since a few days before Xmas. Malte is a HelpXer from near Hamburg in Germany and he has fitted in very well to life at Larnook. Being surrounded by all our friends over a couple of weeks could have been a bit overwhelming for many people (myself included) but Malte just seems to have loved it. And it will probably come as no surprise to you that our friends have felt the same about him. He is a lovely guy who has worked really hard.
So on Sunday afternoon, when the temperature hit 42 degrees for the second day running, we abandoned our ambition to cool off in our creek, and instead spontaneously (we don't do much of the spontaneous stuff anymore) decided to head to the coast and spend a few hours at Brunswick Heads, a small coastal village 15 or so minutes north of Byron Bay. On the way we stopped at the lookout about 15 minutes from our place to show Malte Wollumbin/Mt Warning and its spectacular caldera.
Malte and me and aforesaid mountain and caldera. Note my sensible hat for sensibly keeping the harsh sun from burning my head.
Once we got to Brunny we headed across the old wooden footbridge that takes you across the river to the beach. The water was beautiful although it did have quite a strong pull to the right. Steve enjoying himself in the waves.
