Thanks Adrian,
well....... actually...... we arrived in Yamba this afternoon - for 7 nights - last of the ocean we'll see until long after we get back to Melbourne... going inland from Grafton and back onto the Newell.
This time in Yamba, staying at the Blue Dolphin CP.... and, wait for it.... the pool is heated.... 27 degs, just .7 of one degree cooler than that at Airlie Beach.
Doesn't have the easy access to the town and backdrop of the lovely harbour.
Yes Adrian - will take a pic of the cruiser in front of that Yamba mural... and put it here, just for you!
Couldn't do it today - there were a couple of cars parked on the little block... will get one before we leave and post it up.
Yamba was one of my favorite nats..... Qld - are you listening?.... wouldn't mind coming back here.....
HB was a great nats, now that you've lassoo'd one in your own state - might be worth considering a few more... there are some really beautiful spots along the coast in Qld.... forget about Surfers and the like - those places are mad-houses.. but there are some real gems along the coast both sides of Brizzy..... and any excuse to take on the winter sun for us southerners will always get our attention...
Thanks Tony, has his ears on - some really nice places on your patch, precedent set - I can think of four options without trying.
Generating interest to travel to some of these should not be an issue - and the promise of being forced to wear hats and sunscreen in winter whilst the southern states rug up like eskimo's outdoors is probably sufficient.... so folk, if Qld pre-empt that the next Qld nats will be on their shores - plan your leave to exploit the time taken to its fullest. Great way to break up the long haul each way with a day or two extra as well.
