BYRON BAY - The most Eastern Point in Australia
=====================================

This weekend was YF Camp at Camp Drewe at Lennox Heads about 15 mins from the well known Byron Bay.

It was really interesting to have Paul Hodge (Link to Youtube) who is famous for his youtube clip on the scary watermelon helmet preach on the book of Jonah, otherwise commonly known to little children as Jonah and the Whale.

In essence the story goes, God told Jonah to travel to the town of Ninevah, a city well known for its wickedness. Jonah runs in the opposite direction as Ninevah away from God's command. God, being almighty and astronomical in size, pretty much creates a big storm in which Jonah ends up being thrown overboard in the water.

Suddenly a fish appears and swallows Jonah into its stomach where for 3 days and 3 nights he stayed singing songs and writing his poem. Then God told the fish to spit him out. Jonah went to Ninevah after his near death experience and tell them that the city will fall in 40 days. Everyone decided to repent and in one night a whole city was changed... Then came EMO JONAH... (:p) and ill leave it at that.

But yeah we went to Byron Bay after and we saw not one whale but many jumping around happily. Yeah...!!! So tired
