Hi lovelies,
My turn to share our adventures today.
As today was supposed to be as hot and windy as yesterday we
decided to do a little bit of a road trip.
We headed away from Valla Beach towards Valla. Robbie has decided that after yet another
dirt road, I am perhaps not the person to do the planning of drives 😊. Better than cliffs I think.
I thought it was a lovely drive. Our first destination was the small town of
Bowraville.
It was very quiet for a
Saturday morning.
We did find the
Military Museum open and it was well worth the visit. For such a little town the display there was
amazing. So much information and history.
I was impressed by the collection of Anzac Biscuit tins 😋
From there we headed to Macksville where we had been told that
there was a machinery display happening.
This town lies on the Nambucca River and is simply
beautiful. We drove a little and found where
the display was happening, parked a bit away on the side of the road, walked in
the horrid heat to find out it was the Qld equivalent of FarmFest. A machinery display indeed.
We decided not to visit, and instead drove
back along the river to find somewhere to have some morning tea. This we did achieve.
It was so peaceful and relaxing. We spent some time watching someone on the
river trying to ski, and even more watching a fisherman clean his catch for the
morning. He was also egerly watched by
seagulls and pelicans.
From there we headed to Nambucca Heads. After visiting the information center we
headed to The V Wall.
This is another rock
wall that has been painted by tourists and locals. At the start of the wall there is a beautiful
little bay where the water is very gentle and shallow. Perfect for swimming with little ones.
The water was so clear we could see the fish swimming near the rocks.
From there it was back to the van for a late lunch, and a
bit of a rest and a read.
Around 5pm Robbie decided to try his hand at a spot of
fishing. It was only about 100 meters
from the van so I also wandered down to find a shady spot to read.
About ½ hour in I was chased away by the
sandflies, and Robbie joined me not long after.
He only had 1 bite, and managed to catch a stick.
The expected wind did not appear today, though it was very hot
and we were thankful for any breeze that was about.
It was another day where we realized how blessed we are to
being able to explore this beautiful and varied country.
All for tonight lovelies.
Stay safe and keep enjoying life.
Rob and Lizzy
