Weds 23rd
Lazy day todaym wandered round Nelson Bay looking in shops etc, atea steak and kidney pie at Neds - these Aussies sure know how to make a pie, 50 varieties of fillings but stuck to my faithful choice. Walked down to beach put up umbrella, its so hot again, waves very high so I didnt venture in sea, another shark attack last night so not many brave people!! Headed back to Hideaway and went for dip in pool, then Ken had a nap whilst I read my book. Went to the pub for some food and another day has gone.

Thurs 24-3-11
Woke early to bird song already very hot had breakfast and loaded car for onward journey to Coffs Harbour which is about 5 hours driving, Said our goodbyes to Kathy, I drove for just over two hours and then we had a break in Tamee went in cafe and had the most enormous egg and bacon roll which was lovely. Ken took over the driving nothing on these roads a pleasure to drive really. 1pm and we call into the Billabong Wildlife Park to check out the Koala Breeding section
and we stroked and fed the kangeroos, saw the tiniest joey feeding off its Mum, delightful, it is now steaming hot and too much to walk about much more in it so back on the road arriving in Coffs, managed to get the last room, a spa room where Ken had looked at, The Caribean Motel, very nice, can see the harbour and boats from our room, perfect. Take advantage of the spa bath and out for an Indian Meal - and so to bed,
