TALLEBUDGERA , BURLEIGH & RAINBOW BEACH.

Image
We have had beautiful warm weather this last week so we thought it was a good time to do a “Beach Crawl”.  We started with Burleigh Heads a few days ago. Bloody hell….we didn’t recognise the place! There are so many new high rise apartments getting built. The skyline was full of cranes which I know is progress, but the taller these buildings get….the more  shadows cross over the sand.  A lot of the apartments have been knocked down now….and where Mum and Dad lived…..that 2 story building is dwarfed by huge buildings.  Their old unit….and their new neighbours…. Bertie would not be happy…😳 🥰 This is Burleigh Beach looking towards Surfers Paradise and looking in the opposite direction towards Burleigh Hill which is a lovely spot.  You can walk around Burleigh Hill and it brings you out to Tallebudgera, which is a favourite of ours.  This part of Tallebudgera is where we all go fishing, and they also have a netted area to swim in so you don’t get any stingers...

MUSWELLBROOK SIGHTSEEING

Image
We drove to the railway station today as we’ve passed by it so many times and it looked so pretty. It’s a very busy station, being it transports coal from the local mines, and passengers as well to Sydney, Newcastle and beyond.  We can hear the trains from where we are at the Showgrounds if the wind is blowing in the right direction.  Next to the station is a lovely park.  We have seen the Magpies swooping the kids on bikes coming home from school….it’s that time of the year. 😳 The Plovers are also out and about so watch out for those bloody things that come and dive-bomb you. 🫣 There’s a few of these where we are at the moment too. Bastards…. I keep feeding the magpies hoping we stay friends 🤣🤣🤣

FROM MUSWELLBROOK TO GRAFTON NSW

Image
Between Muswellbrook and Singleton there were quite a few huge coal mines, and a huge power station. This Lake was built specifically by this huge Power Station…to cool down it down…and at its deepest is 35 metres deep.   The next town from there was Singleton, another mining town. We stopped for lunch, got out of the car and there was a terrible smell…..which we thought was just from all of the mines. So we went to get Subway for lunch, in the big shopping centre there….sat outside and we could still smell it.  Finished lunch then all of a sudden the alarm went off in the big shopping mall….and a recorded voice said “This is an emergency ……evacuate immediately” 😳 …..turns out it was a gas leak…..so off we went far, far away and let the fire brigade deal with it. We then drove all the way back to Muswellbrook and we’re glad to get there.  Next day we headed off and we arrived at Grafton and found this a nice place to camp for  two days. This belongs to the Grafton V...
