day 55

Day 55 Monday 11th June

Another day in paradise, we quite like Coffs so much to do and see!!
After watching the news on TV this morning we have decided to stay another day! They tell us that the Hunter river is about to peak at 11 metres, so still a no go zone! So here we are again, but we will move south tomorrow, our next stop will be Port Macquarie. Once there we will reassess the floods!

We will have a day to look around a bit more, so first item is a slow walk up to Diggers Beach. Found the first hurdle! It was up a very steep slope, but not to be told she can’t do it, Brenda set off at a good rate! This slowed a bit as the knees started to ache! Once we got over the top the going got a little easier!!
The views were magnificent, didn’t see any whales, but sighted a pod of Dolphins swimming close to shore.

Had a lay in the sun for a while on Diggers Beach. Then we headed back via the Marina. I watched a lady pull in a very large Flathead( jealous) . Thought about getting the rod out, but lunch was more important. So lunch, then into a car wash to give the Crusher a well earned tub. She came up looking sparking!!!

Back to park relax read the book and enjoy what sun we were getting.

Later on that evening we heard from Rick and Tracey, who were actually on the Queenscliff ferry, heading for Sorrento. The word was that it is cold and windy, don’t like that idea very much! They had mixed feelings about getting home, but they were already thinking about the next trip away!!!!!

Well one more day closer to home ourselves, we probably will move tomorrow to P. Macquarie.
This life is so tough but someone has to do it!!!!!!!
