Nambucca Heads

After our few days in Sydney we drove up the Pacific Highway about half way to Brisbane, stopping at Nambucca Heads on the North Coast of NSW for a few nights. The caravan park here (the "White Albatross") is immaculately maintained, and is located right at the mouth of the Nabmucca River behind the V-Wall. This is a breakwater that has literally hundreds of rocks "artisticly" painted by visitors over the years. This isn't grafitti, it is actively promoted and is an incredible record of visitors, honeymoons, proposals and sadly a few R.I.P's as well. We were wishing that we had though ahead and brought some paint with us (we had to make do with a CD Marker) - maybe next time.


The weather has been perfect with sunny days (today was 31C) so we spent quite a bit of time swimming in the river as well as the lagoon right in front of our camp site. Its amazing how many fish are about. While swimming in the river there schools of mullet and various other breeds right at our feet. I saw 1000's of bait fish and baby flathead in the shallows, and quite a few
larger fish in the water along the breakwall. While I was swimming in the lagoon there was a plate sized bream just a few feet away. I bravely resisted the urge to bring out the rods only because we were enjoying the water so much :)

Right now though the wind is picking up - we might be in for a bit of a storm...

The replacement fridge is doing a fine job of keeping the beer & wine cool (and the food fresh).


Tomorrow morning we are back on the road and will be spending a day or two with my sister and her family in Brisbane before working our way up the Queensland coast.

Au revoir!
