Bellingen to Woombah - NSW Adventures

It was move on day today.

We went from the Hippy Town of Bellingen to the Woombah (just out of Iluka, mid north coast nsw)

We ventured up past Coffs harbour then onto Woolgoolga, a very nice seaside town. Terrific for families with young kids as the beach looks really safe. Some waves but also sheltered.

Along the way we took a few picies of bridges as they looked cool.

The main highway was really good till you get near Grafton where they are doing up and diverting the highway between Ballina and Woolgoolga. 2 lanes and lots of road works. Masses of road works beside the main road – A huge job doing this section.

We arrived and set up the van at Woombah, they took a while as the site is down hill and left to right slope. The van is a bit wobbly but its ok. Lots of jacking up, letting down, up this side, down the other it went till we got it sorted. It’s a nice open park, lots of birds nearby.

Lizzy chillin out

After lunch we went into Iluka for a look see. We drove around and looked at the river then out the surfside. Well a bit disappointed. The river views are ok but there are no surf beaches that are manned and warning out about rips etc.

Seems Yamba, just across the river is the main touristy place.

Got some low down on fishing so hope I catch a few here!! No luck so far.

Off tomorrow to visit Grafton and surrounds. What a life we lead.

A magical day at Franz Josef and Fox Glaciers

Today was our planned helicopter ride to see the glacier and have a snow landing. We were a tad worried as the weather report the night before was not all that encouraging. We had a bit of a slow start and checked in at the flight desk at 10am as requested. The advice was, the flight would go ahead - however with the changing weather conditions the snow landing would be determined on a minute by minute basis. If the landing was scrapped we would have additional flight time added to keep our trip to the same length. Honestly we were just happy to be able to take off. Safety briefing done, the loading crew led us to the helipads. They were pretty cool. Looked a little like landing pads for space craft. The pads are made from the rocks that make up a large part of the landscape of the area. We were given our assigned seats and Thomas (our pilot) got us sorted and...

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...
