We pulled up at a lovely park near a creek that joins the sea – there was a little break-wall, beautiful long beach, and crystal clear water in an estuary, all right next to a lovely grassy park with children’s play area and so on. Feasting on our usual fare of fresh bread, cold meat and salad with fruit to follow, we enjoyed the general ambience of the area. Although it had rained a bit on the way, the clouds had scattered and, although a bit cool in the shade and a tad windy, we had pretty good weather for our picnic.
Gaz, Maz and Kev needed coffee so walked the short distance to the shops while I wandered up to the end of the break-wall. There I met and chatted with a lovely couple from Cornwall UK who are out here on a holiday. We had a good old chin wag – he had lived in Wollongong for some time in the 80s and was out here for the rugby club’s 50th anniversary.
It was then time for the short half hour trip to our destination at Brunswick Heads. The caravan park is a short distance out of town on the river and is chockers with families and kids. Quite a few campers too. Our cabin is described as deluxe and didn’t disappoint – best so far – even a dishwasher! We are situated with a lovely river view and a large porch to take advantage of the view. We even have our own BBQ on the balcony which has got some use already.
We had a seafood feast – swordfish, tuna, salmon and prawns – exceptionally yummy, I think the best meal so far … and we’ve had some pretty good ones. After dinner, the cards made there way out … with the election coverage in the background… and I’m sad to say that Maz & Gaz have made a huge comeback (some would say in line with the federal coalition) and the count is now 2 to 3 rubbers with Kev and me still in the lead.
Later night than usual due to the election coverage which certainly threw up a few surprises!
