Australia 7

	Byron bay. Australia has thousands of miles of white sand beaches, but in the water of these beaches death is watching. Sharks, box jellyfish, saltwater crocodiles and other fatal bathing stuff . But, a lot of beaches have enclosures where you might keep your life. For larger pictures and details, click on the image.
	Byron bay lighthouse (1901). If you are here in June/July, then bring binoculars and join the "Whale spotting". In these months it's possible to see "Hump-whales" jump out of the water. The lighthouse stands on "Cape Byron", where it´s also possible to try "Hang gliding". Byron bay is also one of Australia´s greatest surf places. And then it is here all types of backpackers come by.
	The most Eastern point of Australia. The pebbles in the horizon are reefs and small islands.
	Byron bay has more to offer: Mountain-goats are running allover the steep cliffs down towards the water and in the surf there´s dolphins playing. Want to see a dolphin? Click on the picture for zoom.
	On our way to "Hervey bay and Fraser Island" this is what we ran into; a flooded road. Sure it had rained a lot lately, but we didn´t know that there were floodings coming. This was not in our plans.
	What do you do? Well! You could do as the truck right here (only for diesel trucks, with air inlet above water) or you could go back to "Maryborough" for a nights sleep and then check out the roads the next day.
