New South Wales Adventures - Port Macquarie/Wauchope


Hi lovelies,

I know it has been a couple of days since I wrote so I will catch you up on it all.

On Sunday we went off for a drive in the morning.  Robbie did some fishing while I sat and read a book.   

 

The weather was a bit grubby, so we did not stay to long before we headed home again.


We spent the afternoon reading books and napping.  

Monday we left Kendall and headed to Wauchope.  We got settled at the camp grounds, had a spot of lunch and then headed off to see some of the sights of Port Macquarie.  We headed to Tacking Point Lighthouse.  
  
The view from the top of the hill was beautiful.  

To the south was Lighthouse Beach, which seemed to stretch for an age, 


to the north was a small rocky bay.  


After taking in the view we went for a wander down to the rocky bay and wandered in the water.  We were amazed that it seemed like the water behind the rocks seemed to be a floor higher than the water inside the bay.  


There were a few jellyfish pieces on the beach, and I think this one looks just like a baby’s foot.


We then ventured down to Town Green.  This is a beautiful park right on the waterfront and is very well set out.  There were lots of families having fish and chips, with a number of seagulls trying to get adopted so they could share in the meal.
 
We then headed back to the van to do some chores and have a nap.

Today we had a split morning.  I dropped Robbie back to Town Green where he was planning to do a spot of fishing, while I headed off to visit some of the ladies who belong to Port Macquarie Cards for Aussie Troops.

After only getting lost twice, I arrived, and had such a fun morning meeting the ladies and learning about the work they do.  They are very dedicated in their cardmaking ventures and send off an amazing number of cards to different areas where our troops are serving.

I went back to see how Robbie had faired for the morning.  He had fun, but the only thing he caught was some seaweed.

It was then our turn to have fish and chips on the waterfront. 

  
The seagulls were joined by 2 pelicans to try and join in our meal.  They are very cheeky and get amazingly close.
Back again to the van, where reading and relaxing was on the agenda for the rest of the afternoon.
All for today lovelies.
Stay safe and keep enjoying life
Rob and Lizzy.

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...
