Friday night went to a comedy club which was something I haven't done here. Was a bit smaller than The Funny Bone in St. Louis which I liked so that everyone could be close to the comedians. There were about 3 openers before the main guy. All in all they were ok, not the funniest I'd seen. They did however make fun of Americans (2 of the comedians) which I wasn't happy about. They made jokes about how easy it is for us to buy guns and shoot each other (I did not find this funny), but the audience sure did-ugh!
Saturday morning headed off to go go-carting! Reminded me of growing up and the go-cart that we had. Good times:)
This is the course we went around. It was pretty big. Broke my time up into two 15 min. sessions so that my arms could have a break. I got passed quite a bit, but once I got the hang of it I started passing people!
On the way to the go-cart track I stopped by The Evergreen Taoist Church of Australia. I know absolutely nothing about Taoism but when I Googled it, it says Taoism is a "Chinese philosophy based on the writings of Lao-tzu, advocating humility and religious piety."
They had very interesting art and sacred things in the church. This is a sacred bell and the note says not to ring it.
Sunday I drove down to Byron Bay which was absolutely beautiful. A co-worker had been talking about it so I thought I'd put it on my list of places to visit.
Gotta love this sound!!!
I officially went to the most easterly point of Australia:)
Hiked up to this lighthouse
Along the hike I heard something in the trees and then all of a sudden I saw something hopping and low and behold it was a Swamp Wallaby. He stopped and looked RIGHT at me, awww. How cool is that?! If you're wondering how I knew this was a Swamp Wallaby and not a kanagroo, well at first that is what I thought it was, just a little one, and then at the end of the hike there was a sign that said you might see swamp wallabies on your hike along with a picture. So...that's how I know what this little fella was!
I'm sure you're wondering why I am showing you this picture of a plant. Well, there was another sign on the hike that said you might see Barwan (Barrawang Palms) which were very common in pre-historic times and would have been eaten by DINOSAURS. Did you read that right, this plant was eatin by T-Rex himself, holy cow! This is a close tie for 1st place on the coolest thing I saw all day (you know how I love seeing furry friends on my hikes), but the fact that a dinosaur ate this very plant kinda blows my mind.
I would definitly mark Byron Bay on my list of places to come to again. It had beautiful beaches and scenery!
Loving the pictures! A plant that a dinosaur would have ate? So cool.
