Travelling North

G’day Mates!

I hope you all enjoyed the Blue Mountains?? Now it’s time to continue with our travel.

Packing up in Sydney;

on our way.....

 Like I already told you we are on our way to the North and our first stop was in Murrurundi at a lovely little caravan park. I can imagine that you find that a strange name but a lot of places are named to Aborigine language.

We stopped nice and early because last days have been very exhausted. Unfortunately this place is situated on a high plateau and it became 5 degrees at night. Poor Danny, woke up with a frozen nose haha.

Danny had a new friend .

Next day we drove further and Danny exclaimed a few times that the view often looked like France. So there you are, another country on the list of lookalikes

Keeping an eye on the Garmin lady

In Tamworth we stopped for bacon end eggs what was a very welcoming idea.

Well I can tell you that the 5 degrees wasn’t the worst yet, we stopped  between Armidale and Grafton in a place (3 houses and a hotel/motel) called Ebor Falls. This was at a height of 1250 and next morning we had ice all over the car  and Danny’s tent had become a real Igloo. Poor Guy!! But again; “We” specially HE Survived.

 nice warm dinner in the caravan

the next morning

We decided to move as quick as possible to warmer places and ended up in Yamba, ooooh a lovely relaxing spot where we could see and celebrate the Queen/King day in Holland. This time it was extra special because the Queen gave the throne to her son.

                 

Danny had brought “Oranje Bitter” with him which is a traditional liquor for such royal celebrations (but also for World/European Cup soccer). It was a real surprise for us and the bottle didn’t last very long. We also had orange balloons and flags.

We had 3 full lovely days; did a little walk,

a fine swim in the sea,

a lovely meal in a bowling club,

 a decent fall off the rocks, pfff that did hurt and now a few parts of my body became all colours of the rainbow. The good thing is that my camera is still ok, even though it fell together with me and I heard it bounce on the rocks. It even looks like it's better then before haha (joke);

Before the fall;

after the fall;

The boys gave me a beer to comfort me......

If you ever feel stressed, come to relaxed Yamba!

(Fortunately no one took a picture of my dive haha!!)

Till we meet again.

Cheers!
