From the mountains to the sea......

From the mountainous highlands to the deep blue sea.  We cut across the Great Dividing Range and we're now down on the ocean front tonight. The day started off slow and easy and it seems to be ending that way too.

We headed out through Jackadgery on the way to Grafton.  We stopped in to see Boundary Creek Falls.  Now THAT was a spectacular find.  It was like a faerie oasis in the forest with it's own water fall and swimming hole.  There were tadpoles galore and the odd fish or two.

Very picturesque.  The stairs however were extremely steep and after stopping a couple of times on the way up, I think my heart was having a tough time slowing back down.

After that we headed down along Mann River and stopped in at Jackadgery for an ice cold drink.  It was very warm there so we didn't linger too long.

 

 

 

We ended up along the beach front after deciding on Minnie Water to stay over night.  And that's right next to Hiawatha Lake. (Somebody's been reading up on their classics)  However, the spot that was available was downwind of the public facilities and I wasn't too keen on that spot.  So we headed further south to Wooli and found this wonderful spot that sits high on the edge of the ocean.  We've settled everything down for the night and a cool breeze is coming through the van.

So!...with saying all that,....the sun is starting to set and we haven't been down to the beach yet.  So I'm off to get my swimmers on while the meat thaws out for dinner.
