Arrawarra to Coffs Harbour

Our next stop was Spot X at Arrawarra beach, a caravan park that serves as a base for backpacker tours. It is a popular surf beach, but the wind was up and it made for poor surfing. There was also a problem with the camp kitchen. The bbq was out of order which meant that we had to cook in the camper (something we nornally don't do.) Craig had to open the utility hatch to turn on the propane . Where are the keys ? After tearing the camper apart while the sun went down, we resolved ourselves to the fact that the keys were gone. No fancy dinner tonight. We settled for microwaveable rice and Heinz beans in the dark. The next morning took us into Coffs Harbour where we saw a locksmith and waited two hours for a $100 set of keys. Not too bad for our first big screw up.

By noon we were back on the road, with a few scheduled stops for Lynda to pose with tacky, giant fiberglass icons and a few unscheduled stops for Craig to take some artsy, fartsy photos. When we arrived at Hawk's Nest late in the day, the heat was stifling. Not a good sign as apparently a storm is coming.

  1. hi guys, you two look way to relaxed, when you get back you will proably look 5 yrs. younger :), that boogie boarding doesn't look as much fun as crawling around a ceiling space that only a leprechaun could fit.
