After brekky and with clean clothes on for the first time in ages we hit the road. We are working our way up the coast to Byron Bay, a place that we have heard so much about and are looking forward to visiting. It's still quite a long way from here and we decided to drive for a couple more hours up the coast today. We hoped that we might be able to find somewhere on the coast that wasn't too busy. We found a camp site at a place called Moonee Beach and phoned ahe...

We decided to stay put today because the camp site was lovely and quiet and because we needed to get our laundry done. We haven't done any laundry since we were in Bombala about six weeks ago! We were forced to do it today as we had run out of anything clean to wear. Living like we do we can get away with not changing our clothes for ages! We had three machines worth of stuff and set to work after breakfast. As it was lovely and hot today everything dried pretty ...

We got up,showered, and went to have breakfast elsewhere. We drove along the coast to Lake Cathie and had brekky in the camper near the beach.

After this we went to Bunnings (think B&Q) to treat ourselves to some new light bulbs for the camper. It gets dark here at about six now and our bulbs were useless. We've had to cook by torch light. We also wen...

It had rained overnight and was a bit murky first thing. We got up early and left the camp site before any happy clappy music blasted out and disturbed the lovely peaceful sound of nature. We drove to a place called Seal Rocks where we had breakfast. There was a bit of a dirt road to get there but this was a lovely little place right on the coast and it was our first view of the sea and the Pacific Ocean since we were on Bondi Beach about two weeks ago. It was gr...
