HOME WED 27TH JUNE 12

This is what has happened over our last week. SUNDAY 24 JUNE......Head off after a disturbed sleep. The road now with the Ballina Bypass is great with them doing more works at Sapphire (no not the one in Qld). We arrive at Nambuuca Heads and set up. Rans's TV aerial not working again very lucky it wasn't thrown into the Nambucca River... which only 30ft away!!!  as Manly was playing this arvo. So we go to the Bewells for one last game watch. The Urquhart's come over & have a drink with us. Its good to catch up with them. Tony works at the park we are in. The weather turns cold so we didn't need ice for our drinks! MON 25 JUNE......This morning we have our last big breakie which was nice.There will a lot of "last of things" over the next few days.

We then went for a drive down to Scotts Head which brings back memories from when our boys were growing up with such great times going through Rans & Carols minds. The main beach has changed so much, but the day was perfect with clear skies and beautiful blue water.

We then made our way back & checked out a free camp at Macksville (Gumma Reserve). We then returned back to fill up & get some last minute groceries. Later in the arvo Rans & John & Urkie went down to the Tavern for a bet & drink. Carol & Rans then went to the Urkies for tea which was a nice nite., except the Tigers were beaten....Tony not happy. TUESDAY 26 JUNE......We head off this morning with an overcast day which turns to rain by the time we get around Port Macquarie. We have continual rain into Taree Old Bar where we set up. They have had a fair bit of rain by the looks of the ground. The rain continues all arvo & its bloody cold, Rans goes for a walk down to the beach were there was a huge swell and most of the beach has been washed away whilst Caz has a sleep before we head over to the Bewells for one last meal & drink. We also give our opinions on our best places/times, worse ones & the funniest ones. We all seemed to agree on most things. Dinner & drinks were good and we will miss our times with the Bewells. The rain continues throughout the night which probably was our coldest wet night for 12mths. WEDNESDAY 27 JUNE........We pack up for the last time in drizzling rain its 13mths & 1weeks since we left home.

Our trip South is slow due to the rain which continues to Bulahdelah. We say our goodbyes to John & Sandra who turn off at Raymond Terrace. Thanks John & Sandra for everything, our times together has been AMAZING..ENJOYABLE & GIVEN US LOTS OF LAUGHS & MEMORIES. We continue Sth & arrive at our home at 12noon with Brett & Jacque waiting for us. It does feel a bit weird but also glad to be home & see our boys,friends & relatives.

To all that have followed us on our blog many many thanks. To all the friends & relatives we have seen whilst travelling it was great to see and spend time with you's. So its bye for now until our next adventure which hopefully won't be too far off...........
