February 2, 2006
Dear Friends,Here are some snapshots from James & my trip up north on the east coast of Australia. We drove in our new second hand Mitsubishi Magna, camped, stayed in motels and with friends. Our final destination was Byron Bay, a subtropical area with some rainforest still preserved which is near the border of Queensland. Hope you are all doing well. Love James & Nya |
