An afternoon drive

Hi lovelies,

Today we managed some chores and a nap in the morning.  Just a little reverse from normal.

Then is was lunch and off to explore some more of the country side.

Our first stop was an old port town called Croki.

The remains of the wharf are there to visitors to see, and there is an enclosed swimming area to the right of the wharf.

It seems to be a pretty good place to fish, so we are returning here tomorrow so that Robbie can hunt and gather, and I can read 😎  Such a tough life.

From there we headed to Old Bar, a beach town just east of Taree.  It is a nice drive.  It was fun to see the special tree that was in one of the yards.  I wonder how many feet tall it is?

The beach at Old Bar was a little worse for wear smell wise from seaweed that had been deposited.

Robbie went for a wander and tested the water temp, while I stayed up on the shore this time.

 

Old Bar has a heritage air strip which was interesting.

 And had this cute little structure to celebrate it.

 Our next trip we to follow a sign that said there was a berry farm.  We traveled down a "dirt" road and while we did not find the farm, we did spot this old goanna wandering off the road.

 

From there is was a pleasant drive to Mondrook to enjoy the lovely view and some afternoon tea at the Mondrook Garden.  They make the best milkshake.

 You can walk around the garden and check out the ducks and other wildlife.  We did enjoy our time there, but the were just a few to many mossies for me to stay to long.

We then continued north to Wingham. On the way we found this gorgeous lookout.

  

The views back out to the west really was spectacular and so very peaceful.

 

I did find a random letter box. I did wonder if the lasso over the head of the horse is put down when there is mail.

Finally for today.  This is obviously how you spread good news in the country.

 Have a great day sweet one and keep enjoying life.

Love us.
