Yamba

Thursday 26^th October

This morning, we left Nambucca Heads and headed north again on the Princes Highway A1. Some of the scenery resembled the English countryside but on a much bigger scale with dairy farming predominating. We called in at Coffs Harbour where a lot of regeneration of the harbour walls was being undertaken and we took a walk down the jetty.

                             

Moving on, the road took an inland curve past Grafton and we reached Yamba, a thriving fishing village and resort, by early afternoon and booked into the Calypso campsite that we had stayed at nine years ago.

The weather is really heating up now with relentless blue skies, so air conditioning in the motor home is rather essential. However, it did not seem to want to work today and this necessitated a further call to Apollo for repairs. Just as we were enjoying a refreshing swim in the Yamba campsite pool, we got a call which meant driving back 20kms to a repairer who, hopefully, has managed to fix it. Whilst we were out, a hailstorm was brewing and hit the campsite wetting the chairs we had left on the pitch. However, they soon dried and we took a walk along the stone harbour wall before dinner. 

Highlight of the day: We were rewarded with a magnificent sunset and competed with each other for the best photo!
