New South Wales Advetures - Grafton, Maclean and Yamba

Hi lovelies, We have had such fun over the last two days. Yesterday we were off for a bit of sight seeing. It was nearly lunch time before Robbie got out of bed (not really, but we did not get on the road until 10am). We first headed to Grafton to have a look at some of the Jacaranda Trees that were in bloom.

Bellingen to Woombah - NSW Adventures

The van is a bit wobbly but its ok. Lots of jacking up,
