Arrawarra - Newcastle and on to home.


Our latest leg has taken us into some very ordinary weather.




We have travelled the following track over 5 months.
A is where we had our 2nd last downpour

E is where we had our latest downpour. That's 5 months of brilliant weather.



Trial Bay - South West Rocks.



Is Richard bait fishing with a net here ????

Where have all the waves gone?





During times of war, some citizens are interned in gaol.
The Germans living in Australia during the time of the war were taken here an interned.
The government at the time believed they may be helping the enemy.




A great view from the North- Eastern guard tower.



Ooh, a bit bigger than the caravan.















South Gap Beach track.



Trial Bay Gaol loop track.







We forged on to Port Macquarie. Fortunately , Peter, Meaghan, Zarah and Kaes were happy to share their house with us. We spent the four days mopping up the water in the van.




We were also fortunate enough to find a car for Karen. Meaghan sold her Hyundai Getz.
She hands over the keys with a small tear in her eye.
