The dog is causing us some problems as
there is very few freedom stops on the coast & those that are there are
usually on the highway so not great places to stay.
We know that national parks prohibit pets
but we are surprised at the number of caravan parks that prohibit pets.
After Iluka we stopped at a dog friendly
park at Moonee Beach just 5k’s North of Coffs Harbour, we didn’t want to stay
in town & it turned out that this tiny place was delightful. The park was
situated just behind the beach on top of a small hill & it was a 100m walk
down to the water. A large shallow creek ran behind the beach & swung
around & across the beach at one end, it was a great place for Lulu as well
as us all of us could go for a swim without being in the surf. The weather has
continued the same with storms every night.
After 4 days we moved on & picked a
spot at North Haven but when we arrived we were disappointed with the park so
we pushed on to Forster to a park recommended to us called Lanis Island. Before
we had even set up we were inundated by mosquitoes so we moved once again to
Tuncurry & finally found a nice, dog friendly, park on the waterfront. We
stopped there 3 days & reacquainted ourselves
with the area visiting the local beaches & tourist spots. Weather still
stormy in the evening.
Our final stop before home is to some
friends at Moorland, 22K North of Taree, they have a 25 acre spread that looks
like a park & they keep it immaculate, we spent a couple of days with them
& met up with a couple of old boating buddies that they had invited for the
weekend. Then, reluctantly, we headed for home &, as they always say, be it
ever so humble, there’s no place like home (except the grass is about a foot
tall).
We only have a few photos, most of Max & Carol's property.
Until our next adventure ……
