Trip 03; Day 07; Coffs CBD


Friday 03/01/2014

We had a look around town - got bored. Amanda & Amy kept shopping Les & Ryan fished at the Marina. We had a snooze in the van before heading out and topping fuel up at the Caltex on Orlando St -  a great servo with easy access for Caravans to the air & water and diesel pumps.
 The ducks & geese had babies whilst we were here. 4 were eaten overnight. Eastern Water Dragon has a full belly.





Trip 03; Day 06; Road Trip to Woolgoolga

Thursday 02/01/2014

We drove up the Highway to Woolgoolga a busy seaside town. Ryan & Les fished in the Woolgoolga Lake and caught Bream. We had a quick look around Amanda & Amy had a longer look.
We then drove down to Sandy Beach and Amy caused three puppies to be naughty and chase Amanda. We fell in love with Emerald Beach but $975K is a bit pricey for a very nice house. Moonee Beach has a nice Caravan Park and looks like a great place to stay. Sapphire Beach and then on to the Aquarium back here in town where we watched Chantelle feed the sharks and explain what we were touching in the hands on display. Ryan & Les fished in the creek and Amanda & Amy had some retail therapy.
















Trip 03; Day 05; Road Trip to Nambucca Heads

Wednesday 01/01/2014

Road trip down the Highway at 80kmhr.
We visited Sawtell, Mylestom where we fished under the Railway Bridge and Amanda & Amy grabbed some nice Bacon & Egg Burgers from the local shop near the boardwalk.
We had a look at Raleigh (oops missed it!) and Urunga and then into Nambucca Heads.
We stopped at the Information Centre and Les suggested Ryan fish at the little bridge nearby where he caught a very large Luderick!. We then drove down to North Head where Ryan had another fish.
Amanda & Amy walked around the headland and "read the rocks"















Trip 03; Day 04; Round Trip on the Waterfall way

Tuesday 31/12/2013.

We drove through the back way along the Coramba Road to Dorrigo along a windy sometimes rough track through the hills to Dorrigo. We visited Dangar Falls and had a quick look around Dorrigo. We had a picnic at the "Never Never" Picnic area at the end of a 10km dirt road. Look out for the monstrous staghorn's in the top of the trees. We went to the Rainforest Centre and on the skywalk.
Amanda fell in love with the pricey natural hardwood furniture and mirror frames.
We stopped at Bellingen and had a look around town - nice gelato.
We came home and then went back to the Southern end of the harbour where Ryan & Les fished and Amanda & Amy picked up some fish & chips from the Marina. We watched the 21:30 fireworks and then spent over an hour getting out!















Trip 03; Day 03; Visited the "Big Banana"


Monday 30/12/2013

We had lots of fun at the Big Banana. We went up to the lookout and watched the documentary on the history of banana's and banana growing in the district. Highly recommend the frozen choc dipped banana on a paddle pop stick.
Visited the shopping centre again! Highly recommend the clog making demonstration at the Clog Barn
