Slept in this morning. A couple of hours of fossiking on the small outside beach produced very little. Gayle joined me for a walk to town for a few groceries. Saw a big mob of flying foxes in the park on the way back. Robin and Larney called by. They are in another park for a couple of days on their way home. Had a good chat by which time the afternoon had disappeared. Watched the dying stages of the Cats win over the Swans. Cool breeze all day and despite br...

Interesting day. Could not sleep so went for my walk at 0245. Almost full moon so conditions beautiful. Back at 0430 and suitably tired to go back to bed. Gayle did not hear go or return. After the visit from the Ranger yesterday we did not feel altogether comfortable, and despite the assurances of our new friends that we should stay, we decided to wander on. Told them however not to be surprised if we came back. Departed 0900 and an hour later arrived at Nam...

This mornings early walk took me to the mouth of the Bellinger River via the one kilometer boardwalk to the breakwater and river heads, also the ocean beach. Today's photo is taken looking east towards the surf at the heads. The morning dawned overcast but turned out hot and still (forecast 27). Day of chatting with helpful neighbours on matters ranging from solar panels and batteries to good campsites heading south and how to most easily skirt Sydney. All thi...

Departed Coffs 0845 and headed down the coast. Decided to turn off and have a look at Urunga which had been recommended by a traveller we met at Kyogle. Had a short drive around and as we went along the esplanade between the golf course and the river we spotted two motorhomes in this idyllic location. Stopped for a chat and it turns out they are Tasmanians!!!! One couple from Dunalley (they know Guy and Judy) and the other couple are from Carlton River. Less ...

Today's photo shows us mostly packed up (on the outside), washed down and ready to depart tomorrow. Started the day with look around the Jumping Pillow - always figured that with all that jumping, something would bounce loose. Mostly child denomination coins 10's 20's 50's but a fair spattering of $1 and $2 made the hour spent worthwhile. Late morning bus trip around the banana centre of Oz. To the Plaza to top up on essentials, then bus back in time for clean...
