Paradise Court. Would you expect anything less from Bob.Today was a long haul driving day. We said good bye to Bondi Beach for a seven hour drive to Paradise Court in Coffs Harbour.
We drove up the Pacific Highway. We were surprised by the scenery. It was a lot hillier and greener then we expected. The highway in most places was only two lanes (1 in each direction). For such a big developed country this seemed odd. The HWY speed was 60 to 65 mph. Bicyclists are allowed on the highway.
We were warned about hitting kangaroos on the highway. It sounds like hitting a 'roo is as common as hitting a deer. We saw plenty of road kill 'roos but no live ones. We were also on the lookout for Koalas. We weren't lucky enough to see any.
We found a place to replace the flat tire. The car rental company is making us pay for it. We will have to take it up with the Visa card when we get home.
Ready for a break, we saw a sign for the Great Lakes winery. So we stopped for a tasting and a picnic lunch in the vineyard. We bought two bottles, we drank one with our lunch of hummus, cheese and sausage. Gotta love vacation.
We arrived at the Darlington Beach holiday park. We stayed in a cabin at a camp ground. The cabin was similiar to the ones in Hayward and was nicer then our condo in Bondi Beach. Some cabins were owned by individuals and some folks parked RV's for the season, similiar to Ed & Becky. We saw live 'roos hopping around the camp ground. Too bad we only had one brief night.
Prices for food and beverages is super high. A coke is $4.00.
89 and sunny.
