Just when we thought it couldn't get any better, it did! South West Rocks was the place where our trip became a holiday (albeit after a disappointing daytime stop at Nambucca heads - one challenge on our trip so far has been finding good playgrounds to stop at (a future travel-writing project perhaps...?).

Anyway, back to South West Rocks: Gorgeous beaches with calm, crystal-blue water, relaxed locals and most important, sunny blue skies.

Trial Bay Gaol and the government run camping area at Trial Bay (not the Big 4 Eco Lodge) are a must see; and may well be the site of family holidays for us in years to come. A glorious day of swimming, reading - and even the first post-pregnancy run for me, to the spectacular Horseshoe bay - was capped off with fish and chips on the headland and a toast to our HOLIDAY!
