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)

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.

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.

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.

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...
