Day 4 Leslie Dam, Warwick 20.10.23

Started the morning with a 4km walk around the showgrounds and in to town. 







                             ↕️

Today we drove on new roads for all of us. We went to the Australian Military Flying Museum in Oakey.  It was fantastic and immaculately clean.



















Quick visit to the bakery and IGA before we pushed on to Pittsworth,  another new town for us. We wandered down the main street then shared a chocolate thick shake at the diner. 





We took the scenic route to Leslie Dam, driving through Leyburn and along narrow roads. It was a lovely drive.
We have booked in to the caravan park at Leslie Dam for 2 nights. 
Sunset view from Graham and Gail's van.

Today we travelled 193kms. The weather was lovely and warm.

Day 17. Corindi. 2.11.23

Caught up with some Blazeaid friends in Moonee this morning. Had a lovely morning tea and checked out their new home. With no real plan we headed to Woolgoolga for a look.  Murals at the RSL. Woolgoolga beach looked tempting for a paddle. All the caravan parks were fully booked so we moved on to Corindi. We are in a bush camp at a sports ground with lots of big old trees and only a short walk to the beach. Board walk down to the beach. Treasures on the beach.  We watched a whale playing for quite awhile.  Our home among the gum trees.  This huge tree has a hole in its trunk.  Today we travelled 66kms and walked 5kms.

Day 14. Urunga. 30.10.23

 A couple of pics from my morning walk.  The Dunny Can Man. It's so lovely and green. Packing up to head towards the coast. Wollomombi pine tree. Descended from the Gondwana forest. A seed was planted here some 25 years ago. Apparently there aren't many of these trees left. The boys went to see a train collection and were given a very informative tour. Parked in Dorrigo and wandered around town. Unfortunately the stores I wanted to look at weren't open.  Stopped at the Old Butter Factory in Bellingen. I really enjoyed this place with it's relics, animals and various stores. We are staying in Urunga for a few nights at a caravan park by the Bellingen River.  Today we travelled 44kms.

Day 5. Leslie Dam, Warwick 21.10.23

I went for an EARLY morning walk at stupid o'clock but took some nice panoramic shots over the water pre dawn. I developed an ocular migraine so cut my walk short and went back to bed just before 6am and slept for over 2 hours. We went for a drive into Warwick.  We have been here before so just had a quick look around after visiting our favourite cafe. The next 2 photos are compliments of Gunther.  On the way home we stopped to have a look at the dam wall.  I decided not to climb up to the top today as I'm still feeling a bit 'off' so I went home for another snooze in the aircon. It's 31° at lunchtime.  After a very lazy afternoon we are cooking a roast dinner.
