Escaping Sydney before the masses tomorrow!

After a bit of traffic congestion to get out of Sydney, we found our way to free camping (well, cheap camping) at Buladelah Showgrounds, with dinner at the Bowling Club next door. A great little overnight stop.Les mer

Valla Beach NSW

Nostalgia much!

It’s been 30+ years since I’ve been here, and apart from some new subdivisions heading in and more permanent park residents, Valla Beach Resort is still very much as I remember from a kid.

After a quick set up we headed over the ‘new’ footbridge to the beach - only to discover enormous 4+ metre waves barrelling into shore. The constant RFS aerial patrol confirmed swimming was not an option.

A leisurely stroll along the beach to the lagoon entrance, where we enjoyed a swim and explored the rocky outcrop at Valla Beach.

We ended a genuinely Good Friday with fish and chips at Nambucca Heads.Les mer

Urunga, Bellingen & Dorrigo NSW

Happy Easter 🐣

After a cooked breakfast and an obligatory Easter egg hunt (never too old) we headed for brunch at the Old Butter Factory in Bellingen. I highly recommend the scones, but no so much the watermelon juice.

After a quick sqiz through town, we headed on up the road, the bit the hadn’t washed down the hill, to Dorrigo where we explored the Rainforest Centre and iconic skywalk. Unlike our 2018 attempt, this time the skies were clear and we could see out over the canopy. Actually somewhat underwhelming.

Next up we quickly checked out Dangar Falls before heading back down the mountain to Urunga where we stopped for a refreshing swim at the new Lido - it would have been good at a higher tide. Nevertheless the boys had fun and we wandered out the 800m boardwalk past the breakwall, through the mangroves and out to the ‘elephant graveyard’, a washed up collection of driftwood on the beach front.Les mer

Coffs Harbour NSW
22. april, Australia ⋅ ☀️ 20 °C
Having anticipated rain we headed to Coffs Harbour for the day expecting to find indoor activities, but happily it turned out BOM was wrong so we pivoted to check out the good old Big Banana (again).

After finally reaching the front of the queue, then waiting some more for a red bellied black to snake to be cleared from the track, we rode the short and somewhat slow toboggan down the hill. Definitely no comparison to the thrilling Thredbo slide!

An iconic frozen choc coated banana later and we were off to explore the marina jetty and Fisherman’s Co-op for lunch, before the boys hit their way through 150 golf balls at the local driving range.

To finish our stay in the Nambucca Valley we took advantage of schnitzel night at the Nambucca RSL Club.Les mer

Shoal Bay NSW

A quick, albeit wet, trip down the highway from Valla Beach back to Shoal Bay for the next few nights, stopping for lunch at the Artisan Farmer just south of Nabiac. Highly recommend the Waygu steak sandwich 😋Les mer

Fingal Bay NSW

Loving the last days of ‘summer’ 🤩

After a cooked breakfast, the skies cleared and we headed to Fingal Bay one of our favourite beaches. After an energetic swim, Dan, Helen, Anthony and I walked the length of the beach out the the spit and back before heading back to the van for a late lunch and quiet afternoon.

Later in the evening us adults walked down to Zenith in Shoal Bay for a fire a cooked seafood platter, whilst the kids got takeaway pizza and ate in the park opposite. Nice that were can trust them to look after themselves now.Les mer

Anzac Day xx

Sadly a wet morning kept us indoors. But our veterans were front of mind as always on this special day.

As the morning matured into a sunny day we headed for One Mile Beach, with a short detour up Gan Gan Lookout.

The beach was fabulous with consistent waves providing just the right amount of excitement without any current. We spent a good few hours enjoying the last of summer.

Returning to the vans our happy hour rolled into dinner, followed by some star gazing as the lights went out.Les mer
