Last day in Byron Bay before following the temperature gradient south to Canberra where the Maximus Celsius has been around number nine.

A frosty reception awaits.

And here is a Koan:

A student asked Dongshan, “When cold and heat come, how can we avoid them?”

Dongshan said, “Why don’t you go to the place where there is no cold or heat?”
The student asked, “What’s the place with neither cold or heat?”
Dongshan said, “When it’s cold, the cold kills you. When it’s hot, the heat kills you.”
