NSW Adventures -Coffs Harbour and Down the coast.

Today we ventured north a bit to Coffs Harbour to sort out some phone data issues. While there we went to see the beach and the jetty. Quite a nice place to visit. You can walk over to Mutton Bird Is via the breaker wall. (a bit far for us today)

Mutton Bird Is

We drove south a few kilometers up to Boambee Lookout overlooking Coffs Harbour and Sawtell. They were only a few kms apart. Yes more beach again and more to come.

back towards Coffs


Towards Sawtell

Driving down through Sawtell we noticed they had lovely big trees up the middle of the main part of town. Quite a nice look.

Next, we drove on to find Mylestrom, and yes had to via a dirt again, as the bridge was closed for work. On to Mylestrom for a visit to see their beach.


Mylestrom towards river mouth

Urunga was next stop for lunch by the river. A lovely quite spot except for the noisy seagulls chasing food as usual.

Lastly on to Hungry Head for look see over the beaches. Again, terrific views and great beaches everywhere.

Forster-Tuncurry

Hi lovelies, Yesterday we packed up at Harrington and moved a whole 50km south to Darawank, just north of Forster-Tuncurry. It took us 5 hours to get here 😊 . We went via Black Head where they were holding the monthly markets. They were huge and had lots of goodies to offer. I think Robbie was thankful that I had no cash on me. From there we took a drive to Diamond Head, a pretty beach area. We stopped there, and shared some morning tea with a very cheeky local. Our next stop was Red Head, but we did not venture to the beach. There were some spectacular views of the coastline. It was then back into the car and we headed along the Pacific Highway to past Nabaic and down to Wootton where we turned off to follow the Lakes Way past lots of lovely little bays and finally through Forster and Tuncurry to our park. Our van site is on the banks of the Wallamba River. It has a...

New South Wales Adventure - Tenterfield

Hi lovelies, A little earlier start this morning than yesterday. We were up having a lovely breakfast by 8am. It was a little sad this morning as we said goodbye to Steph and Leo. We have had such a blessed time with them and we look forward to catching up with them again when we head to South Australia next year. As the weather was drizzly today we decided to head off to visit some of the nearby National Parks. Our day consisted of dirt roads, mossy paths, lots of kangaroos and very few cars. Gramps we are very sorry but the O Mobile is in great need of a bath. If it rains tonight I will be sending Robbie out in his swimmers to give it a wash. Our first stop was to see Thunderbolts Hideout. It is a short walk through some bush to see where this apparently "gentlemanly" bushranger hid. It was then back into the car and off to see the Tank Traps that were part of the Brisbane Line. It is a fairly visually unimpressive plac...
