In Australia, the game of Monopoly is asking for people to ‘vote’ for destinations to appear on their new “Here & Now” Monopoly board.

I think it’s a great use of the Internet AND a good way to generate interest in their new board… I remember using the monopoly website to get instructions for Junior Monopoly about 8 years ago when I ‘lost’ the instructions to my daughters new game - which at the time I also thought was a great use of the Internet.

Anyway - apart from me now being impressed two times with the Monopoly website, I also think it would be cool to have Byron Bay on the game board.

So - be sure to vote, you can vote once a day till February 10th.

Visit : www.monopoly.com.au and follow the instructions -it’s easy -no registration.

My brother & I climbed Mt Warning (1,157m), it is a fairly strenuous ‘walk’. It took us 4 hours round trip (up and down). The last 50-100m is a steep rock climb with a chain for support.

Here’s a clip;

We enjoyed it. Mt Warning is a World Heritage listed National Park located about a one hour drive from Byron Bay (12km from Murwillumbah).
