On the road again. Of course leaving our nice, comfy place in Port heading further north towards who knows where leaves us a little uncertain. So far so good in the accommodations department but like any trip, you never know when what you book is a far cry from the pictures they circulate. I’m not trying to jinx us – just saying!
Our first stop was at Coffs Harbour, for a light breakfast and coffee. Ambiance was hohum and the food, a bacon and egg sandwich was edible. Still nothing to top the Old Road Cafe.
After breakfast we took a walk over to the harbor. Nice views. Saw a food wagon that served mini pancakes and coffee. Darn! That would have been good!
Back on the road we made a stop in a small down sidled up next to a river. We all needed a few minutes to stretch our legs. What a great stop! Above in the trees, at least 7 or 8 of the lovely white birds were perched. I think they are called Correllas. One was even posing for me.
Along with these lovely birds we also saw Ibis and an Australian Water Dragon.
We finally reached our destination in Causarina on the Gold Coast, not far from Byron Bay. The place was a little quirky and only had one queen bed and two twins. The queen was in the living room but had petitions that we could pull out to surround the bedroom. The room with the twins had no working lights. The outside patio was lovely and we ate this awful pizza on the veranda.
After dinner we went for a walk. The moon was full and the sun was setting. Unfortunately it doesn’t set over the ocean here. But I was able to take some photos with the moon and waves and mist.
Since it was dusk, I could hear a cacophony of squeaks and squawks and the unusual sound I associate with a macaw. I saw four large black birds with yellow undertails flying from a tree to a trough of water. They were yellow tailed black cockatoos. Unfortunately, due to darkness, my photos are not very clear.
What a beautiful day today!
