We managed to get going fairly early for once and headed towards Sydney! It was a fair drive and parts were quite busy. Some parts were lovely driving through though. We stopped in Parramatta at the tourist information to get some more information on the Blue Mountains and made our way towards them. We stopped in Glenbrook which was further along for lunch and to plan our route and off we set! The weather had been lovely and sunny by we noticed it gradually gett...

We woke up very late this am, the latest since having the camper! Still feeling tired we dragged ourselves out of bed and got sorted.

We eventually found our way and enquired about a few things. We then explored the town cent...

They seemed to be especially high pitched and very annoying! We went and looked at the beach and at the creek but the photos never seem to do places justice! The creek was clear and very tempting to swim in! From the campsite we went into Coffs Harbour. We walked around the harbour and a...
