Day 107: Tugun

It is very nice here. Beautiful beaches and none of the commercialisation of Surfers Paradise. Not that Surfers Paradise is a bad place, there is a need for that kind of escapism as well as the idyllic, quiet, remote beach type. We all need a bit of bright neon lights and skyscrapers every once in a while.

We drove south for about 5 minutes looking for a supermarket and ended up crossing the border to New South Wales. That wasn't part of the plan, we shouldn't be there for a long time yet!

I do remember that day... it was freezing! Oly took ages to take the picture.

I read on the BBC News website that they are putting up the sculptures on the rooftops in London, http://www.bbc.co.uk/london/content/articles/2007/05/03/gormley_london_figures_feature.shtml
