Day 18. Canungra, Qld. 3.11.23

Morning walk to the beach, via the boardwalk. 


Our only stop today was in Maclean for a coffee and a wander along the river. 


Harwood bridge near Yamba.

Welcome to Queensland and congested roads due to a multi year upgrade of the M1.
Crawling along at 20km/hr.
We are staying at the Canungra showgrounds for a few nights.  There is a rather large group here who have hired row after row of Jayco Journeys for a weekend away. The campground is almost full.

We had dinner with Rachel and John and the boys and Seth and I had a great game of Rummikub before we headed back to the van. 

It has been drizzling rain this evening. Today we travelled 306kms.

Day 17. Corindi. 2.11.23

Image
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

Image
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.
