I saw the above news story on the net this morning about Magda Szubanski's influence on the 'YES' vote winning yesterday in Australia, and I remembered back to traveling down to the Byron Writers Festival last year and being greeted by a double rainbow just before getting there to see Magda's book talk on the day.

I remember Magda saying how she was into the concept of synchronicity and Carl Jung and I remembered thinking that I was in the company of another kindred spirit here, but looking back just a little after a year and seeing the 'YES' result yesterday and learning also of Magda's mother's recent passing, I couldn't help thinking back to seeing that double rainbow over Byron Bay as a real sign from above in hindsight.

And I remembered seeing rainbows all around Byron Bay the weekend I was down there.
And I've spent lots of time before in Byron and since and can't remember ever seeing a real rainbow before or after this weekend.
I remember seeing this poem in a local Byron Bay magazine that weekend of the writers festival one night while I was waiting for a pizza, which had nothing to do with an Australia wide postal vote on Gay marriage, which wasn't even on the cards at the time.
So, I guess all the signs for 2017 were all there back in 2016 maybe?
I also thought it was bizarre that Lisa Wilkinson who got caught in the same roadblock that I did on her way to the Byron Writers Festival this year, and who I saw talk at the festival this year has swapped TV networks since and wound up on Channel 10's TV show 'The Project' -
