Oh dear, I mixed up my days a bit. This is what we did when we returned home from Woolgoolga. I really shouldn't skip a day without writing it down. We returned to Coffs Harbour and carried on with what I've written next. This friendly and relaxed city on the surf is surrounded by a natural environment and looks out over the Solitary Islands. There is a choice of over 90 beaches in this area and one of the most beautiful is within our walking distance, we could...

Today we decided to travel up to Woolgoolga about a 45 min. drive from Coffs because so many people had mentioned that it was a wonderful place to visit. This was our first disappointment of our trip. It wasn't anything it was built up to be, at least for us. So, we returned home had some spare time and went to see Lincoln at the movie theatre. All in all, we did have some time to reflect on what a great holiday we were having and the movie was worth seeing. Quit...

When you leave the Gold Coast and head south you are now travelling down the Pacific Coast. We spent yesterday on the road and ended up at Coffs Harbour. It was a long trip but we broke it up with stops along the way to do tourist things. We are getting a bit sad knowing that we have less then a week left of our holiday so we need to make the best of these last few days. We have a great two bedroom apt. that we had booked for 2 days but have extended it for an a...

What could be more wonderful than swimming in a salt water pool fed by the ocean in a glorious setting? One of the many beautiful scenes we've encountered as we make our way down the coast to Melbourne. We are currently in the little village of Narooma (aboriginal name means "clear, blue water) and will spend the night here with a gorgeous view of the ocean. Had the best fish & chips for lunch in the little town of Kiama ("place where sea makes noise")at a re...

Trains, buses, taxis, ferries, we've now done them all .... Plus walking of course. Spent the day in Manly (famous for their beautiful beaches) a short ferry ride from Sydney Harbour. The beaches were full of people in spite of weather that wasn't ideal. Cloudy with temp. of only 25C (perfect for us). Apparently, most people like 30c plus temps. It was a very relaxing day until a thunderstorm hit at which point we made a beeline for the ferry.
