Dad and i camped out in a place called sawtell. It is a
coastal town close to Coffs Harbour and has this inlet that can only be
walked through at low tide. We spent the whole next day walking down
the beach with our packs on completely alone. Its strange being on a
beach for that long and not seeing anyone. Dad says that Australia is
one of the only places in the world that one is able to do it. We are
very lucky that by law in Australia beaches cant be privately owned,
and that we have such a coastline.
My plans are to move to an
even smaller community than Armidale by the start of winter. I
personally cant stand the cold weather that is associated with the high
altitudes of Armidale. The place is called Bellingen. Its a small place
on the way to Coffs Harbour from Armidale. The climate is perfect, the
people are lovley, and the landscape is full of luscious green fields.
It sounds as if im romanticizing it a bit but it is actually that
great. There is a bit of a free spirited hippie feel to it. Kind of
like Byron bay was before it became commercialized (that is if you have
ever been there). So yeah, my kind of place. Coffee stops and hippie
shops. Now i can go and hoe the earth in my hippie commune haha :)
Actually its funny that i mention that, on the walk down the beach
there was a section of it that is a reserved nudist beach. Just over
the sand dunes Dad said that there is a large hippie commune, so i
might check it out. I can frollick naked in the moonlight :) haha
wouldnt that impress the ladies!
Visit Jonsmad!
