From Mann to Manning

Hi lovelies,

Well it is a few days since we shared our adventures.

For the last 3 days we sat around the caravan at Mann River as it was raining.

We did manage to go for a trip back to Cangai Bridge for a swim and lunch.

Saw some of the local wildlife there,

and some art work by visitors.

We watched some beautiful birds who decided to eat some of the seed we put out for them.

We went for another swim, still in the Mann River, but down from the park.

I sorted my stash box I brought to use in my journal.

Rob did some fishing.

Pretty chilled all in all.

Today we left Mann River and headed south for the Manning River. We are staying in Harrington. A lovely coastal town.

The Caravan Park is fabulous.

Just a short drive to the beach, which of course we did today.

A drive up to Pilot Lookout. Beautiful scenery again.

and interestingly there was a small cemetery there also.

Found some interesting characters.

A walk along the breakwater.

Saw some greedy pelicans and seagulls chasing after fishing scraps.

A trip out to Crowdy Bay

and up to to the lighthouse.

It was then a quick trip to Taree grab some staples, and then back to the van for dinner.

All short and sweet today.

Have a lovely day and keep enjoying life.

Love us.

Final wrap up of our NZ visit

We have had an amazing time visiting the South Island, and also a few days in the North at Wellington to mainly visit the WETA workshop. On Saturday the 29th Nov we flew up to Wellington for a few days to have a look about and visit the WETA workshop. Wellington did live up to its reputation of being windy. Its a nice city built around a harbor. Most things are easy walking distance from the city centre. We took a few walks along the harbor. Elizabeth wanted to try what they call white bait. It looks like worms with eyes. It was cooked with egg. Neither of us were a great fan of this. We took the cable car up the mountain to see the sights and buy more souvenirs :). Our main objective was to visit the WETA workshop who have lots of special effects and prosthetics used in films such as LOTR. The shop was amazing with lots of expensive models but also prints and other items at reasonable rates. We had orders from family for few things and we also purchased a couple...

Caves Beach

Hi all, another day of exploring this terrific area. We went to visit Caves Beach today and had to do so at low tide due to the caves accessibility being blocked at high tide. The beach itself was a long and flat where the tide moves up the beach some 15-20 m from low to high. The main claim to fame are the beach caves. The water has eroded a number of small and large caves that aren't deep but very interesting. Some have swallows living within them. You can make your way around the bay by going through the cave to the next area. 1 area we had to time it so as not to get too wet as the tide washed through. After exploring the caves we wandered back to do the walk on the cliff edge (not that close). It was great to get a good view of the area. We even spoke to some fisherman who were fishing from the cliff. (yes they caught a Kingfish that we saw). We then looked up the Petrified Forest near the entrance to the Lake Macquarie , S...
