Coast Road to Port Macquarie

Took the coastal road stopping off for an early morning walk along the breakwater at Harrington. Had a look at the old (144 years) lighthouse that's still in use that overlooks the beautiful Crowdy Bay National Park. Captain Cook decided on the name after seeing a crowd of aboriginal people there. It's far from crowded today. Spent time on other beaches up the coast before going to the Koala Hospital. Great ethos here as they take in sick koalas and rehabilitate them before releasing them back into the wild, if possible. Some have been there for a while, some are kept screened to minimise exposure to humans and they are never held. We were lucky as they were quite active when we got there. Some were blind, some limbs missing but all quite capable climbers.Leggi altro
