DAY 54

Day 54 Sunday 10th June

As some of you might be aware, the floods just south of here are pretty bad. So we made the decision to stay her another day, just to give the floods time to ease! We did look at going around the long way via Tamworth but even some of those roads are flooded too! So here we will stay for another day. But what a nice place to be at!
Sunday morning and there is always a market somewhere. Yep we found one in Coffs. So of we went, as markets go, not bad. Brenda bought some nice gifts and cards for different people. I bought a plastic “ Bat”, of the mammal variety. Don’t ask!

From the market we headed to the ’Big Banana”. I was a bit disappointed as the place seemed to be run down. It looked like it needed a good clean and a lick of paint. Half of the attractions were closed, the ski run has been closed for a couple of years. But, talking to some people that work here they told us that the site has been sold and the new owners have got huge plans for the place. One thing they said would be coming was a wet and wild style area for the kids( big and small). So they are trying something.!
On the way down we picked some Mandarins and Macadamia nuts all free! How good was that
We did the Sky Walk, even though Brenda struggle up the Steps, we got to the top. The view was worth, great panorama of Coffs. We met a nice couple from NZ had a good old chinwag with them. They told us we must go to NZ! So that might be a trip in the future!
Well if I thought the walk up was hard for my girl, the walk down the slope was even harder. I thought about trading her in for a new model, but she cooks and cleans well OUCH!!!!!!! All jokes aside I think the inevitable Knee replacement, is closer than she thinks!!
I saw the toboggan ride was operating so just had to have a go (where’s the g/kids when you need them).

Of course after all my exercise I needed a coffee.
Back to park for a well earned relax and read in the sun!!!
