Nora Head Lighthouse

Hi lovelies,

We had a most beautiful day today.

We began the morning by visiting the beautiful Phoenix.  She is the sister-in-law of one of my uncles.  We had never met but had chatted on the phone.  We had a lovely time with her.  She has recently begun lino printing and so shared some of her artwork with us.  Such a treasure.

The picture behind us is her first print.  She is very talented.  I did not ask permission to post her photo so it is just a bit of us.

Robbie enjoyed some time wandering around her garden, and we saw her cute little camper.  So well set up.

From there we took a quick trip down to the edge of Lake Munmorah to check it out. 

 We spotted this pelican who seemed to be watching over his flock of seagulls.

It was then off to Nora Head Lighthouse.  

 

The scenery there is magnificent, and it was such a perfect day.

 

 We did the tour of the lighthouse and it was so good and well worth the $6 each - a bargain.

 We got to find out lots about the house itself and also about the life of those who manned it. 

 It did not become electric until 1961 and was not fully automated until 1995.

The volunteer tour guide was wonderful 

and he was so good with answering questions and sharing information.

You are able to get all the way to the top in the tour and the view was well worth it. 

The red window was of particular interest.  It is so that at night ships from the north can see the rocks that are at the entrance of the chanel.

We then took a quick drive through to the entrance for a glimpse. 

 Then it was fish and chips at Budgewoi and back to the van for a nap.

We finished out day successfully cooking a roast on the Webber.  So tempting that we forgot to photograph it before devouring.  

All for now lovelies.

Stay safe and keep enjoying life.

Love us.
