So Lennox Head is another of those places we would have
loved to stay longer. Relaxed, great beaches and great food.
Heading south again but inland for a night near Bellingen, a
sort of hippy place. Occasional whiff of pot as you walk around, quirky shops
and quite a nice spot for a stopover. Beautiful sunset. Nice touch in the local independent
grocer with the fruit. And what’s with the automated dog wash?
The next day we headed for Trial Bay, near South West Rocks.
WOW! What a beach, clear aquamarine water and gentle waves. We were joined by
13 kangaroos who seem to live about the campsite.
Along the way we saw the giant prawn in Ballina and the big
banana outside Coffs Harbour.
Next up some wine tasting in the Hunter Valley, courtesy of
Tex our guide for the day. We stayed in Cessnock, campsite nice but empty on
the Thursday we arrived. By the time we got back on Friday it was full of
Sydney folk up for the weekend. Delicious wines from small boutique vineyards
that only sell through their cellar doors. Of the 150 vineyards in the area 90
do free or nearly free tastings………..! And there was cheese and there was
chocolate too.
Two hour trip to Sydney, to return our van and head to the
B&B
