The journey continues back down south with stops at Byron Bay, Bellingen and Nambucca Heads, again. At Byron we had to update the blog because it took ages when we wanted it to do somewhere else. We saw a lot of old familiar faces and we went to the beach for updating our tan.

We stayed there for a couple of days and then went to Nambucca Heads. We drove through Bellingen and made a spectacular climb 762m up through a ‘Dry Rainforest’ to Dorrigo then under cover of darkness we decided to take the 30km off-road! route back through the forest to Bowraville with Debs driving our 4 litre rear wheel drive station wagon, which was fun and had its moments. We made it and stopped off at Nambucca Heads.

We stayed in a cheap motel ‘Nirvana Motel ‘ where not only people spend the night but also big cockroaches. We met a possum and it ate from my hand. It was fond of apples so we called it ’apple the possum’.

Then the long drive to Sydney to meet up with our Dive Buddies Maike and Muus who are already there. Before we left we were invited to dive or snorkel with some Groupers especially a large ‘Bright Blue’ one somewhere near Manley and Bondi Beach that would be cool and sounds like a good day. We have also a days fishing lined up on a boat and maybe even 18 holes of Golf for me while Debs does a tandem sky dive? Just why would anyone throw themselves from a perfectly good aircraft?        I don’t know but there must be a reason.

Hopefully there will be time for one last trip to Melbourne to my old mate Moti, that would be good as we had lost touch with each other for a few years, it would be good to catch up there are stories to be told and beers to be drunk, I can’t wait.
