KEMPSEY TO WOOLI BEACH












Ok another vanilla milk shake at MC Donald's and time to catch up on yesterdays events.Well we left Kempsey at about 9.30 after doing our blog and getting some more supplies for our travels,had a lovely ride along the pacific highway(keeping well out of the way of the road trains that trundle up and down this road)some of them are huge ,most of them painted up in bright colours and highly polished chrome bumpers and wheels.Stopped for a cup of tea at Nambucca Heads(this is a nice little place),we had a walk around and then found a little beach at South Valla.This spot was right alongside the beach so we decided it was lunch time,enjoyed a walk along the beach(few surfers around and lads fishing for mullet).After doing the washing up we got on our way and passed through some banana plantations and finally arrived at Coffs Harbour,now this town is quite big(even got an airport) very pretty place ,little harbour and plenty of fishing boats,had a walk around here.Time was getting on now and we finally realised that the clocks here went back on Sunday morning so although it gets light about 5.30 am it is dark for 6pm (suggested to Betty that we should get up at the crack of dawn so that we could make most of our day but i don`t think she was impressed).We certainly miss those king size beds that we had in America.After leaving Coffs Harbour we carried on to a village called Grafton where we decided to go off the main road about 30kms to a little place called Wooli,now this place was only small(we prefer these sites)we had a river at the back of us and the sea in front of us.Now the beach here was great ,lovely sand and stretched for miles in both directions.Had a good evening meal and a chat with one of the neighbours ,whose name was Brian.He spends six months on site and six months travelling(seemed to have a good life with his fishing)had a little drink and off to bed.Goodnight Betty and BrianXX.
