You may have seen some of the Lorikeet photos or videos we
posted at our last stop. It was cool feeding and watching the birds go crazy
over bread and a bit of honey. They weren’t afraid to climb all over us even
our heads. You have watch out when they fight with each other on your arm. They
tend to dig the claws into your arm!

We also saw some really cool street art which you can sit on
or just admire at Nambucca Heads in the main street. Again, no fish about even
in Nambucca - sad face.
We moved on up the road a bit today from Valla Beach to stay
a few days at Bellingen. A small town just inland from Coffs harbor. From the
looks of it and the shops, it seems to be a Greeny, New age, Hippy town but a still
has a nice cosy feel to it.

It has the Ballenger River flowing through town
which has little water in it but not deep.

We noticed walking around town that there are about 5 Op
shops of sorts, a fair few ladies clothing shops, lots of cafes, and a few odd
other shops. It looks like the place you drive to on the weekend for a relax
and coffee in the country. Amazing how a few kms makes such a big difference to
the feel of a town.
Lizzy dragged me into lots of dress shops!! She has taken to
these instead of craft shops. I say, “
Not another dress shop!!” She hasn’t spent much yet at least.
Up the streets of the main centre there are chairs out for
us guys to sit in while the ladies check the shops. Lots of places have a water
bowl out front for the dog to cool off and slurp at.

Looking forward to a visit to Dorrigo tomorrow. Yes, more
waterfalls to see!!
Nana here is a cool plant to watch out for. Dangerous thing
to get stuck in.
Here is one for you to figure out what it is and what it is used for. If you have lived in NSW you might know.
