We are now heading on towards Sydney, after a great few days with Helen and David in Nambucca Heads. We arrived in Nambucca after seven hours of driving from the farm through several small towns in the area, including Armidale - the home of Australian Country music! After a quick stop at the bottle shop to get a few essentials (a crate of Gold and a bottle of Jack) we were soon knocking on the door, and lo and behold.......nobody was in!!!

On the day of our arrival, we left Brisbane after getting all the last minute bits that we might need, and set off around lunchtime on what we were told would be a four hour trip.

Here we found a butcher that seemed to be selling by animal weights, as we managed to get one m...

After arriving in Airlie beach on Friday, we started looking around at the various different cruises that were available and settled on a smaller looking boat that promised good food, great views and a truly relaxing experience. What more could we want??? The only thing that we still needed to do was find somewhere to stay for a couple of days until the boat set sail as nobody fancied sleeping in the car for that long! Luckily enough we were recommended a place ...
