Day56

Day 56 Tuesday 12th June

Awoke this morning b…y cold 7 Degs. So off we go towards Port Macquarie.
First stop, Kempsey for Brekkie, Sat down at a table and before we knew it, it became a conference! Two other couples joined us. So we all had a good yarn for 30 minutes or so.

We arrived at our park in P. Macquarie. It’s very nice park , right on the Hastings River, which flows out to the ocean about 200 metres from our van site. They have built a sea wall out of huge rocks and each of the rocks is decorated by anyone who want’s to paint them. Some of the paintings are quite good!

We had a nice walk along the breakwater and along the road back to town. Lots of units for sale right on the beach road. Maybe we should buy one?
From there we took a short drive to the lighthouse., at Tacking Point. Once again great views even if the beaches were coping a pounding!!
Onwards to a rainforest board walk. Gees we try anything!!!!!
The Seascape rainforest Walk near shelly beach and Tacking Point was our next point of call. A tour through the forest by a guide was quite interesting. He was an older retired guy who just likes trees! Some people see trees in a different way to most of us! The tour took about one and half hours and by the end of it we were, believe it or not, we were getting quite cold!! The lady who runs the ticket office had actually shut the doors and was about to go home when she saw our cars still there. Didn’t fancy spending the night in the rainforest!!!!!!! Especially after the guide told Brenda, about the big Python that lived in the trees!!!! The steps became longer and quicker!!!

Back to the park for a nice cup of hot coffee!!!!!
