Staying ‘Up Over’ for a while.
In the once Forbidden Zone - Pt 2.
So...after a day down on the river near Grafton, we headed further south to camp at Boorkoom camp site near Wooli in the Yuraygir National Park. We explored the Wilson Headland the first day. I was up to see the sunrise over the Pacific before we packed up and headed further south to Woolgoolga. Driving down the highway, at speed, I was startled when a big spider ran all around the the steering wheel before disappearing into the driver's side door pocket. A bit later it reappeared on the side window so I wound the window down and whacked it out.
We had breakfast in Woolgoolga before heading back up the coast to Tracy's, visiting, Safety Beach, Arrawarra Headland and Red Rock.
On the last day I spent the afternoon in Yamba and went for another swim out at Angourie Back Beach while Tracy and Will were in Maclean discussing an Art Project they going to be working on .
...And that is our holiday over.
In the once Forbidden Zone - Pt 1.
So...we are down at Ashby with Tracy for the week after the Queensland border opened to most of New South Wales (Parts of Greater Sydney are still declared Covid hotspots). We will still need a pass to re-enter Queensland on Sunday but we won't have to quarantine for a fortnight. It has been lovely to spend time by the river and the sea.
We are off camping further south tomorrow night to explore the coast around Wooli and Red Rock.
Here come the Cicadas.
Min Min Adventure - Day 10 - Charleville to Yuleba...No! Hang on a minute. Let's just go home instead.
So...we actually had a good night's sleep and were woken, about 6.00 am, by the inconsiderate people next to us talking loudly while making and eating their breakfast. We got up, packed up and went into Charleville for our breakfast before heading off on the road again to the East.
We stopped at Mitchell to visit the Great Artesian Spa. There were two pools, a hot one (about 40 degrees) and a cold one (about 25 degrees). The weather was hot and knocking 30 degrees today so I spent more time in the cold pool than the hot one. It was lovely and refreshing and a relaxing break from the journey.
We had planned to bush camp tonight at Yuleba but as we were gradually getting nearer to home, its pull became strong and we decided to just head home instead, even though it meant another 6 hour car journey. We returned home via Roma, Surat, Meanderra, Moonie, Billa Billa and Inglewood again. We took it in turns to drive the car and arrived home just before 7.00 pm.
Our Min Min Adventure is over but it will be nice to sleep in our own bed again tonight.
