    Heading south
    Stopped off at Old Petrie Town - 40 acres with old Queensland historical buildings, live steam, forge, pottery and various craft shops, cafes and a Sunday market. Met up with Tracy (of Mt Barney farm) again.
    Then on to the Bruce H'way/PCW/M1 again for an hour or so, off at Currumbin to take the windy, scenic route to Murwillumbah.
    Great camp spot on the Oxley River with platypus, sea Eagles, fish jumping, and the usual birds!

    Early start for the push South. Watched the platypus and sea Eagles while having breakfast. Morning coffee at Nimbin - you know you're in Nimbin!! Back roads again to lunch at Grafton.

  • Murrurundi

    6–14 août 2024, Australie ⋅ ⛅ 13 °C

    Showers early, so on the road by 8am. Completed Waterfall Way. Started at 780m, up to 1380m as we crossed the Great Divide. Short stop at Oxley Wild Rivers NP to see the Gorge waterfalls and views - mind 🤯 Definitely coming back to this area to walk some trails
    Another google adventure on the 'fastest' route to Nundle - the forest way is exactly what it says! State production forest roads and logging. Bonus Wedgie (we think), wallabies, and lots of different 🦜 (unidentified)
    Woollen mill visit, then onto the New England highway. Saw spectacular views and road trains+ to Murrurundi. Pub dinner - we've earnt it!

  • Bendalong

    12 août 2024, Australie ⋅ ☁️ 17 °C

    Left Glenbrook after coffee and cake at Underground (& school times had finished), taking back roads south as much as possible. Rain started at 7am, cleared by 2pm.
    Lunch at Fitzroy Falls, then through Kangaroo Valley (narrow, winding and more road works!), then hit A1 to Bendalong. Most of Bendalong is caravan park on a headland, and one shop (The Hub) for the whole area. Fishing is its reason for being!
    Bonus seeing 2 sea Eagles flying across the bay
