Kempsey
to Gosford
Stopped
the night in the centre of Kempsey where another couple travelling by
motorbike with a trailer was also staying. They had been down the
the Ulyses AGM down round Adelaide area and had been touring around
down there and were on there way back to Brisbane. Much cooler
morning with cloud and a few showers here and there. Had a couple of
jobs to do at Bunnings and a motorbike shop, still getting together
some things we may need. Then headed off down the Pacific Motorway
down past Port Macquarie and was quite a long way down till we turned
into Forster where we stopped for coffee and a bite to eat. Busy
coastal town. Next stop was a beautiful little bay called Elizabeth
Beach. Chatting to an old surfer (about our age) who was taking
school kids for surfing lessons. Pretty laid back lifestyle. Carried
on down the lakes highway to Bulahdelah then back onto the Pacific
Highway.
Stopped
at a roadside cafe called the Rock (guess it looks like Uluru) before
getting to Newcastle. Took the coastal route down thru Belmont,
stopped at Swansea for a few photos, then onto The Entrance. This is
the only entrance from the sea for a huge lake system of salt water
lakes. Austalian people are really friendly, they just come up and
start chatting. Something to do with the bikes maybe. Even coming
down the Pacific Highway stopping at a set of lights a guy in a car
asked where we were going and where we were from. Went up to a look
out called Crackerneck which looked out over the whole area. A man
had just arrived with his homing pigeons for their afternoon flight.
He uses them for at weddings and so on.
By
this time the sun was nearly down and we were thinking that we could
make a run to get through Sydney, but got as far as Gosford and
decided to stop for the night.
