Where are the hippies?

So left our noisy pub/ hotel in Evans Head for the Gold Coast , not far and so plenty of opportunities to have coffees and relax in the very last bit of

Hotel Illawong , our room was above the beer garden and a birthday party . Probably could have seen more of the town but we were keen to get out and off to Byron
Stopped of for a drink at Lennox Head
Plenty of large lizards and a fantastic display from a small group of whales , slapping and breaching just a few hundred meters off shore
Lizards watched it too
Great beach and town at Byron , but v expensive
And no hippies
Plenty of parties of school kids
And windy selfie spots
So moved on over the border into Queensland , Coolangata , past Tweed heads looking over to Surfer’s Paradise
Snapper Rock life saving post
Looking back to NSW
