Tried to drive further down the coast from Burleigh Heads & managed to get as far as Tweed Heads, but there was major construction on the roads everywhere, so we opted to go back on the freeway.. They are spending millions on their roads - must say some of them sure need it. Turned off at Byron Bay which looked a nice place (apparently quite hippie). Stopped off for lunch at a place called Lennox Head which is a hang-glider launching place. There were two there & I waited patiently hoping to get a photo, but nothing doing. We arrived at Bundjalung mid-afternoon, & found a very busy camp as it was the weekend. Lots of families, in tents mostly, with all the fishing gear etc, but also caravans & a few motorhomes. We could choose our own site, & decided to keep away from the families as much as possible expecting that they may be a bit noisy at night etc. However it was all very good really. Because they are all up early, they crash at a reasonable time at night, & it get's dark about 7pm here. (In QLD it was 6pm) They are all into camping much more here than in NZ which is great to see. Again young & old & they don't necessarily have loads of flash gear. This camp supplied firewood & little woodburning BBQ's at each site & most people used them. There were also a few flash gas barbies. When we first arrived we were pleased to see kangaroos in the camp, obviously acccustomed to all the comings & goings as long as you don't approach them too closely. Managed to get a photo or two. Next morning after breakfast we took a walk around the rocks to another little bay. I wasn't too keen as at the beginning of the walk was a sign telling you of the dangers e.g. snakes!!! Stu convinced me it would be OK, so I made him lead the way. Naturally made sure we had good strong shoes on too.
