Ballina (3)

There are a few million square kilometers in Australia to choose from to set up your camp. Yesterday there were a few hundred of them you better stay away. Guess where we are ? Yes, right in the middle of it.
We thought that if the wind is going to blow this caravan away (wind gusts over 120 km/hr), we better not be in it. So we locked the caravan, secured all windows and hatches, and went to the RSL club. We had a nice meal, watched the electric power to fail a few times, had a few drinks and returned to the caravanpark around 10:30. This was the worse wind I have ever seen. But the caravan was OK, so we hoped we would be alright. Half an hour later the power in the caravanpark went down too. Another half an hour later it was as if somebody turned the weather-switch: the wind and rain stopped, just like that. We went to bed and woke this morning: the sun is shining !!
