Somewhere New

Whilst we were heading back to Coffs Harbour, a different sort of an opportunity came to light!  Would we be interested in doing some painting of cabins in another caravan park?  A week's free rent for a few hours painting!  Hmm!  Why not?  Team Turtle wasn't planning to do much else (except try to build up the bank balance) and (as much as we really like the Park in Coffs) it was sort of time to move on for a little while.

The general consensus was "yep, let's do it" and so we packed up our gear and hit the road north to Yamba NSW.  We did, unfortunately, leave part of  Team Turtle behind - Tuf Cat was put into storage (with some other boats for company) until we need her or we go back to Coffs.

All Packed Up and Ready To Go!

The park where we are staying is the Big 4 Saltwater Holiday Park right on the Clarence River and about 10 klms into town.  Will probably be here for at least a month and then see what happens after that.

One very big advantage of this park is that it has its own private boat ramp and (at the moment) not very busy at all.  Should be good when the weather clears up a bit and we can put The New Boat in for a swim!

Saturday Afternoon At The Boat Ramp

Sunday morning dawned bright and clear so The Captain took the day off from painting and we headed into Yuraygir National Park just south of Yamba.  Thought we would just be walking for a short time but ended up doing a 6 klm round trip to Dirrangan Lookout and back.  Good thing that it was a beautiful day!

Since then, The Captain has been doing some more painting and The Deckie has been catching up on her knitting and needlework so it has been fairly quiet - cannot have too many dramas.

So, at this stage, all is well and we will catch up soon.
