Arrival at Lennox Heads on Wednesday after a stop at a lovely café in Alstonville where we enjoyed again a piece of fig and date cake with a taster of caramel and macadamia tartlet, really nice coffee also. The day was rather grey but we set up with a magnificent view of the lake and headed off into the shops for some lunch.
