We all had another sleep in this morning and when we eventually got up Grace appeared and joined us for coffee. It was a beautifully sunny day so we did a load of washing, had a very long drawn out breakfast and spent the rest of the morning having a long walk along the beach. By the time we got back it was lunchtime and the washing was dry! We drove into Lennox Head and had another long walk along the beach then walked into the village and bought ice creams...

Eventually got to sleep last night without our boys being with us and was woken by them knocking at the door at 730am very excitable having had a great time with Grace on their first sleep over.

We went into town first and drove along the beach to Cape Bryon to visit the lighthouse. There was no parking so Nick dropped Gr...

We all had a big breakfast before packing up and were still on the road by 930am. We had a lovely drive up to Suffolk Park, swapping flat sugar cane fields for rolling hills covered in macadamia trees. We checked into the caravan park and had a choice of 11 different sites. We found one close to the camp kitc...

Matty woke us all up early again with his rocking and groaning but this time he wasn't alone as a child in the caravan next door was screaming too - ahh, the serenity!! We enjoyed our coffee sitting in the morning sunshine before completing a mammoth laundry session. Once everyone had had breakfast we drove into Yamba, parked at the beach and walked the foreshore to the Sunday Markets. Katharine and I had a look around all the stalls while Nick played with t...
