Money Out, Money In
Byron Bay, NSW

Friday morning I drove up to the lighthouse in Byron Bay and walked to the easternmost point of Australia. Afterwards I brought my car to a mechanic for a final service and tune up, figuring it will be easier to sell when it runs smoother and has had a recent service. In the meantime I spent time online and walked a bit on the beach. The service and tune up turned out to be a bit more expensive than expected (160 euro), but luckily I could do some work at the elections today, and I was able to make over 70 euro by just handing out leaflets at a poll boot. I am doing a working holiday after all.
