Still Monday 23 March.
We headed north out of the rat race of Sydney roads and found the Pacific Highway that takes us along the coast towards Brisbane.
First stop was Harrington, where the Manning River enters the sea.
I just love walking along break water walls. Bill didn't want to come so I set off by myself for an interesting time.
This is fun and a beautiful view of the river on one side and the ocean on the other.
Now what's this? A barricade to stop you going any further. No way I'm getting to the end..
..so I climb over but after a while the going gets rough and the rocks are unstable. Not wanting to fall and break an ankle and be left lying here forever I had better turn back. (wimp)
But first a shot of the view from the wall. Then I continue back along the wall for a bit when I think I could find a shorter way back to the tourist park where we have a cabin. So I jump off the wall and head around the lagoon in the opposite direction to that which I took coming out....big mistake.
At first it was sand, then mud and then mangrove swamp, so I head away from the lagoon into this long grass which I squashed down onto the mud so I didn't sink. Finally as the sun was setting, I found solid ground and a path which led me back to camp (with filthy white shoes) Ah but it was an adventure and fun.Tuesday 24 March.
We only have a short distance to drive to our next stop so we spend some time checking out the little fishing village of Crowdy Head.
We drive up towards the lighthouse which is on a headland jutting out into the sea. There are beautiful bays and beaches on both sides as well as a little fishing boat harbour.
Looking to the left.
Bill the videographer.Looking to the right.
I love the big blue sky.
Looking down from the lighthouse.
Then we drove down to the boats and onto our next stop at Nambucca Heads.
The Pacific highway is being upgraded. We came across loads of roadworks but we weren't in a hurry and it didn't matter. It was good to see so many people had jobs.
