Going north

We had some heavy rain and found something was off, as there was some leaking into the tent. Luckily the next morning it was warm and sunny, so after breakfast, we moved the car into the sun and took the bedding out of the tent, where it dried almost instantly.

Now we where on the road we had had to decide what to do next, we ha several option on our list and since the weather prediction for going north where more favorable then for going south we decided to aim for Byron bay, the most Eastern part of Australia’s mainland.

For the first leg of the trip we aimed for ‘Red head beach’ which Mo had found. It is near Newcastle. We followed the Pacific highway and drove with 100 km/h on the cruise control towards our destination.

The official camp site we checked was full, which seems to be the norm so far, but we found a parking next to a park where you could camp as well.

We had a nice walk around the park, saw a nice sunset on the bay and while checking out some interesting trees, I suddenly saw a cute, cat sized animal with big round eyes looking at us from the tree. It turned out to be a Possum, likely a Brush-tail Possum.

In the park were public electrical grills, so I decided to try one of them for our dinner. It turned out great and we could toast to Marc’s health as it is his birthday today.
