Iluka - Free Camping

Iluka was on our radar as when we stayed in Yamba, we saw that it was a town surrounded by water, but also a little quieter and a bit more remote. We were ready for some peace and quiet after our 2 weeks in the hustle and bustle of Byron.
We drove around Iluka. It was a bit cold and windy with a storm coming. Robin braved the weather and went for a surf, but was out within 20 minutes due to a ‘shark sighting’.
We headed to a picnic area near woody head, where we would cook a nice dinner and have an early night as it was raining heavily.
We met a lovely eccentric nomad who was about 60 years old. She had been hitch hiking all around Australia - this included getting into yachts as well. Her name was Michelle and Lara and her had a strong connection as Michelle had a “feeling” that I was a kiwi.
She told us all about her travels, her issues and her life lessons. She gave us some foraging tips of some of the plants and mushrooms that you could eat in the area.
She also recommended the rainforest walk, which we also did, and it was lovely.Baca lagi
