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.
We also visited the Art Gallery, which now also houses the
information centre. Lots of lovely art
pieces to see, and a special chair that was the perfect colour. 😊.
We took a short wander to see some of the local buildings
and historic sites.
From there we headed to Ulmarra, a lovely old port town,
With some gorgeous old buildings.
I
was very pleased to see a book store that was advertising all books at ½ price. I do think that they put the prices up to
cover the sale, but still managed to buy 3 books.
From there we were supposed to travel down a tourist road,
but alas I misread the map. Robbie was
kind and did turn around so that we could back.
We were so pleased we did.
The tourist
road rand along the river and we saw lots of trawlers working.
and a special flower just for my Mum (bahahahaha I crack myself up).
It was then onto Maclean.
A wonderful little town that has a Scottish connection.
All the power poles are painted with tartan
patterns,
and there is a Cairn at the top of a hill overlooking the town and
river.
We bought fish and chips for lunch to eat beside the
river. This is the second time on this
trip we treated ourselves at a fishing town and it is the last time
we will do so. ☹. Both time we
fed the seagulls our fish.
From there it was back to the van for a bit of a rest before
we took a drive to some fishing spots recommended by some locals.
This morning was a much earlier start, it must be a fishing
day 😊.
We headed off to Goodwood Island.
We had a lovely time.
Robbie set up his fishing gear and I got myself sorted with a chair and
a book.
It was not very long before my
reading was interrupted as my hero had caught a fish. This seemed to set the tone for the morning.
After being interrupted 4 times, for 2 small flathead and 2
small brim,
I decided that I would give the book a miss and do some fishing of
my own.
My result was 1 small flathead.
All fish were returned to have their nappies changed, so it
was off to Yamba for some shopping.
We were planning to have
a swim at Yamba, but most beaches had a large amount of weed.
Yamba was much larger than we imagined.
Back to the van again for some housework, it take so long to
sweep the van out and do the washing, that I had to have a break.
Tonight we are seeing if we can cook a roast on the
webber. Hope it goes well.
All for today lovely.
Take care and continue to enjoy life.
Rob and Lizzy
