Flooding in Byron Bay, Australia

How we helped when this nomad had to reschedule their transport

I was on the Oz Experience bus, preparing to go from Byron Bay to Sydney. The driver informed us that a recent cyclone had flooded all of the roads that headed south and that we would have to wait until the roads cleared or fly to Sydney.  Since I needed to make my return flight to the U.S. a few days later, I had no choice but to take the flight to Sydney.
