MORE BEACH PHOTOS.

There hasn’t been much to write about lately. 

We seem to have slipped back into our normal routines pretty effortlessly, as we do when we get back to Tweed. 

Ed’s back playing bowls at his club, and catching up with all his mates. The phone calls start again for him……asking could he fill in a spot?…. and is he available to play on such and such a date?……which is good for him as there’s lots of competitions as well as social bowls playing at the moment. 

And it’s good for me as I get to have the car, and go exploring the Op Shops and shopping centres. Not that I need anything, but it’s always good to browse, and have some me time. 

It’s still very warm. The air con has not been off since we’ve been here…. and that’s 24/7. It’s cyclone season, and poor New Zealand have declared a  State of Emergency as they were smashed yesterday with a terrible cyclone. The footage coming through from that beautiful country is just so damn sad.

As the weather is so warm, the only time we can walk is at night, once that sun starts to set. 
It’s such a beautiful time of the day, when everyone is so pleased to see the sun disappear over the mountains. 




This is looking towards Snapper Rocks. 




Rainbow Beach ❤️
(Sorry that the photos look grainy, but it’s the time of the day where we transition from bright light to sundown) 















But by far, our most favourite walk……(not beach) is the walk along the beachfront of Tugun. 




Every night, we get in the car and drive to this spot so we can walk along this gorgeous pathway. 

It’s amazing as you see so many beautiful things. There are so many families that use this walk at night. There are so many cute dogs. 

There’s this one white poodle. She is so well groomed, and soft, and she loves a pat, which of course I have to do. 

But the funny thing she does, when she’s on the grass, she just flops spread eagle, and will not move, but loves her Dad to drag her like that, on her belly, all legs sticking out. It’s hilarious, but so cute. 

We see lots of families, and lots of gorgeous little blonde kids, the spit of their mums and dads, all tanned and cute, learning to skate board with their Dads. 
It’s a very family orientated place. 

The units and homes are gorgeous (as I think I’ve already said.) 
We never tire of this walk.  On the way back, it’s dark then, and we get to talk to a beautiful white fluffy cat that will only appear from one of the units,  when everyone goes home. 
And yes….I’m not a cat fan, but she just seems to come up to us and wait for a pat, then will disappear into the night down to the beach. 
Probably chasing the crabs. 🦀🐟

It takes us about an hour and a half to complete the walk, and by the time we get back to the car we are glad to sit our bums down.  I’m not sure how far the walk is, but I know it’s about a 9,000 step walk. 
But it’s good as we certainly sleep well after our shower. I fall into bed 😂😂😴😴

Stay safe everyone 
❤️❤️

MORE TRAVELS BACK TO TWEED HEADS.

Image
Left Forbes in the rain and headed to Dunedoo…population 1,000   Lighting wasn’t that good as it decided to come over stormy. We stayed the night at the small caravan park, $30….. bit overpriced, but like everything….the price has gone up.  Next day, after travelling on some horrific roads…..we got to Merriwa. We stayed behind the Pub, which was free, got some shopping an the local IGA, found this lovely Mural on the side wall made out of corrugated iron…. And basically stayed in the caravan as it rained all day and night.  Luckily next day, it had stopped raining, it was very muddy though where we were staying. Yuk  Headed off again, road conditions got worse, and stopped for the night at Gerry’s Plains.  It’s our usual stop free stop over. We found a nice spot next to the fence line, and had an audience as we set up. These horses are always here to greet you every time we come. So I had a lovely view while doing the dishes out of my kitchen window all afternoon😂😂 So we left that be

SEA LAKE, & MANANGATANG REVISTED.

Image
We left  Charlton this morning in the fog. It didn’t take long to lift, and then the sun came through. It was a little windy, but luckily we weren’t driving into it.  As we do, we zig zaged and went the long way, stopping at Nandaly for lunch. Ed used to deliver there when he worked for Dons Smallgoods.  They have a pub, and the shop that Ed delivered to had been closed down for what looked like a long time.  Population 30  What they have done, is built a lovely free stop over for campers. There’s showers,  toilets, and two power sockets for caravans to plug into.  There was no one there to take advantage of it all though as they built it so people could drop into the pub for a feed.  So on we went after lunch along the Calder Highway and turned into what Google maps said was the way to Chinkapook.  Well we must have blinked as we couldn’t find it…….but 17 people live there! So we stopped at Sea Lake instead and went for a walk up the Main Street.  It’s not a big town, and there were a

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 Vintage Car Club, an
