Photo Day

In front of the Hemp Embassy in Nimbin. Also, notice the Give Way sign. There are no stop signs, at least I haven't seen any, there are Give Way signs instead. No need to stop, but give way to the other vehicle. I like it. How many times do you really need to stop at a stop sign anway?


I love the Australian money with one exception. The "paper" money feels slightly like plastic and is almost impossible to tear with your hands. Plus it's very colorful and there is a little "window" or clear spot on each bill. There are no single cent coins. Everything in Australia is rounded to the nearest .05ยข which makes buying things so much easier. The only problem i have is that the larger gold coin is $1 but the smaller gold coing is $2. That took me about a week to get used to.


Sun rise in Nimbin. Such beauty here.


They have Monarch Butterflies here. Lots of them flit around this hostel.


Birds, bees, flies, and lizzards all eat from this flower. I don't know it's name, but it is very pretty and smells sweet like, hmm, how do i describe it... a combination of honey and lilly.

I love Monarch Butterflies and was told that they are becoming extinct -- well, at least in America, due to genetic modification of crops. It's nice to know that they're surviving somewhere!

David - It has been years since I had seen a monarch butterfly. I like them too.
