Biggles Presents Australia


January 5 - 7, 2001
Stop. Revive. Survive.
A ten-hour drive north of Sydney along the Pacific Highway brings you to Byron Bay, the most easterly point of Australia, and a haven for young college folk and backpackers. Parties last all night, on both street and beach.
Sometimes you get bored on a 10 hour trip.
Tom drives from the wrong side of the car, not to mention the wrong side of the road.
The scenery you mostly saw along the "Pacific" Highway.
Every half-mile along the highway was the following sign: "Every two hours: Stop, revive, survive." The most impressive marketing campaign for rest stops that we've ever seen.
Tom "Pumps" it up.
Look closely. That's a "Koala Crossing" sign.
Pedestrian crossing signs often appeared in the middle of the wilderness.
Biggles presents... Big Prawn!
As mentioned before, sometimes you get bored on a 10 hour trip.

Biggles presents... the most easterly point of the Australian mainland!
Bryon Bay lighthouse, from the beach across the street from our motel. Life was rough...
A sand dragon stares off into the distance. And based on his wide eyes and the shadow on the left side of the picture, one wonders what he's looking at.
The sculptor actually makes his living by creating sand sculptures and requesting donations. Or so he claims...
