NSW Adventures -Coffs Harbour and Down the coast.


Today we ventured north a bit to Coffs Harbour to sort out some phone data issues. While there we went to see the beach and the jetty. Quite a nice place to visit. You can walk over to Mutton Bird Is via the breaker wall. (a bit far for us today)

We drove south a few kilometers up to Boambee Lookout overlooking Coffs Harbour and Sawtell. They were only a few kms apart. Yes more beach again and more to come.


back towards Coffs

Towards Sawtell




Driving down through Sawtell we noticed they had lovely big trees up the middle of the main part of town. Quite a nice look.



Next, we drove on to find Mylestrom, and yes had to via a dirt again, as the bridge was closed for work. On to Mylestrom for a visit to see their beach.

Urunga was next stop for lunch by the river. A lovely quite spot except for the noisy seagulls chasing food as usual.

Lastly on to Hungry Head for look see over the beaches. Again, terrific views and great beaches everywhere.

 Hi all, Here a brief overview of our 2 day adventure on Fraser Island with Fraser Island Explorer Tours. Here is a link to our trip in video format.  https://youtu.be/QY8tr093G4o We were picked up from our accommodation by our tour guide who then picked up some more of our group and headed to the barge to go across to the Island. It was very smooth no seasickness this time :) We got on the 4x4 wheel bus and headed inland to Lake Mackenzie. This was a very picturesque spot. The water was very cool and the sand as white as we've seen it. After this we headed to Central station , the old tree clearing head quarters. Next we headed for Lake Wobby which was a 45 min trek in and 45 out across lots of sand. It sits on a big sand-blow which will eventually disappear. A small fresh water lake with a couple of cat fish in it. Then off to our accommodation for the night. The next day we headed out to run the beach pretty much all day heading all the way up to Champagne Pools. We eventua...

Three days in the snow.

Hi lovelies, We have had the most amazing 3 days at the Perisher Valley Snowfields. Warning this is a very text heavy post.  Photos are limited, you cannot take many while you ski/board.  Robbie will have a video soon. On Monday we headed up just for a drive and to see what was around.   The day was perfect.   Not too windy and bright and sunny. We parked at Bullock Flats and caught the Skitube to Perisher.   This is really the best way to get there.   Nice highway all the way, and while the train is a little expensive at $55.00 per head return it is preferable to an extra hour drive on roads that may be a little less than ideal.   There is also only limited parking at Perisher so the train is the way to go.   We had a bit of a look around Perisher before heading off to Blue Cow, again by Skitube. It was so lovely to wander around.      We were thankful that we hired boots as it wa...
