Around The World In 80 Waves

Driving south from Norries Head in the last light of the day I see this sign warning me about kangaroo activity, which seems to suggest they are capable of overturning cars.

My first though is that they don’t put that in the travel brochure when trying to entice tourists to Australia!

Next I’m wondering in a nod to the Quentin Tarantino & Robert Rodriguez’s film From Dusk Till Dawn if perhaps there is a supernatural reason for this strength beyond their size.

Probably not and the few that I did see on my drive south, which were my first in the wild, did not make any lunges for my throat.

I drove on until I got to Byron Bay where I watched the last round of the British Open golf on the telly over a couple of beers in the pub.

During which I had a phone call from a friend back in the UK who wanted to let me know some great news. I won’t share it because he hasn’t passed it on to everybody yet and he doesn’t want me stealing his thunder, but I couldn’t have been happier as I drifted off to sleep in my van later that evening. What a great day!
