The last 4 days we have been hammered by a devastating storm. Many of the nearby rivers have flooded, whole towns have had to be evacuated, and the schools have been shut. The winds reached 130 km/h here in Byron Bay and driving was a bit scary. They sent me home from teaching on Thursday because they were afraid that if I didn't leave, I was going to have to sleep at school. Trees are everywhere and the electricity has been going off and on. We had a small break in the storm yesterday and Janu and I went on an adventure to check out the damage. Unfortunately I didn't have my camera when we drove through the flooded roadways, but I did get a few photos of the waves and him ( I was surprised at how much he enjoyed being my subject for the photos, but he might not enjoy me putting them up online).

Billy cart races in Bangalow
Good fun in Bangalow... The main street of this quaint little town was turned into a racing grounds for some keen billy cart racers this weekend. The usually busy street was lined with hay bails and enthusiasts of all ages, awaiting the start of the races. It was a fun outing and I took some photos, enjoy.
