Kyogle, kookaburras, cane toads and beautiful babies

Arrived safely in Kyogle around 5 on Wednesday. The journey from Tenterfield took a lot longer than we expected as the first 40kms were incredibly windy. Rhys and Elizabeth and Theodore (who is a real poppet) joined us for tea and we had some of Rhys's rump steak which was as tender as fillet steak. We pottered around yesterday and had a nice relaxing time in the town, then today Brian and Margaret took us to our favourite little town, Nimbin. There is always something memorable at that place. Today is was the hippy man, covered in tats, pushing a pram with a very large staffy dog in it. Apparently it is quite old and not very well so he is lavishing care on it. Obviously a much loved dog. There was quite a strong smell of weed, probably more noticeable because it was hot and humid.
We had a cuppa at Rhys and Elizabeth's cottage on the way back and saw the extension they put on, which has given them a dining room and a bedroom for Theodore. Very nice.
Tomorrow we head off to the Gold Coast for a few relaxing days at the beach and more lovely cuddles with Theodore. He smiles and coos, SO cute.
There was a cane toad in the garden last night - not at all cute.
I don't think we will have an internet connection on the coast so if the blog stops that will be why.
