I guess I was there for a week or so; we had been invited to teach "A Course in Miracles" to some of the groups there but most of our time was spent in Byron Bay and Sydney [my favorite city in the world]. I remember leaving in 90 degree weather and arriving here in a blizzard that lasted from the end of November until late March [so it seemed]. The coast of Australia is one of the most amazing places in the world... you can drive out, park, walk to the beach and look as far as the eye can see in both directions and you are the only one within sight [unless you are very near a town] with the waves crashing on the shore!!! I loved it!!!!
