On our way here we passed a truck that flicked a stone up onto the windscreen. That resulted in a large chip which consequently ran. Tuesday the guys from Port Macquarie arrived, took out the old windscreen and noticed that there was rust in the surrounds. So the car was taken to a local panel beater to remove the rust and the windscreen insertion delayed until Thursday.
Nevertheless we still found plenty to do to fill in our time.
Caravans were washed
Icecream shared
We seemed to have our own senior net meeting here
On Brian and Cheryl's last night with us here, Leonie made a Pav roll (delicious)
The evening entertainment was to play trains, which we have continued to do after the others left. It is a dominoes game and we all have our share of winning
The long train is the Mexican Train as more are able to build on it.
Saturday (yesterday) we went for a drive to the coast (South West Rocks and Hat Head)
We even witnessed the spreading of ashes of a long time surf life club member
In the above photo, the current surf life club members are just setting out. The long boat in the background carried the ashes and at the point of the spreading all oars were pointed to the sky. (we found all this out by asking the locals)
Our next stop was at Trial Bay to view the historic prison
Just to the right of the prison building is a lookout to sea.
We were standing there when almost simultaneously Jim and I decided that we'd seen the splash of a whale. That had us all closely scanning the sea and we saw quite a few whales firstly blowing their spout then leaping out of and splashing back into the water.
Then on to Hat Head
On our return to Kempsey the temperature change was very noticeable. In fact the top temp was 30degrees.
Next day, today, and the temperature is only predicted to reach 28... And I hear rain on the roof.
