We parked the car at the international terminal and caught the train to domestic.
We had time for an early lunch, passable Mexican, before catching our little plane north an hour to Port Macquarie. We had one heck of a tail wind and were there barely before the flight attendants had time to serve and clean up the lunch time snack.
Stirl’s house renovations are finished and it looks great. The co driver was very impressed with the three seasons room. Nope, sorry, not happening down south.
Out to dinner at a lovely Japanese restaurant after drinks at the Beach House pub by the river.
‘Port’ is a much bigger town than Ulladulla and has a plethora of restaurants, bars, cafes and entertainment opportunities in comparison.
Next morning after coffee we headed for the Koala Hospital. Here they look after animals that have been injured by domestic dog attacks, car accidents and diseases initiated by chamlydia which is affecting the marsupials Australia wide. It is not the same strain that affects humans.
They do great work here treating between 50 and 100 at a time and releasing a big percentage back into the wild once they are well again.
On the same grounds is Roto house. Built by surveyor John Flynn in 1891, this 11 room weatherboard house constructed from local red mahogany was occupied by his family right up until 1979. It's still lovingly maintained by the National Parks and Wildlife Service to this day.
Travelling further south we drove up North Brother mountain outside Laurieton which gives you a wonderful view, south and north of the beaches, lakes and mountains in the area.
Then it was a great long lunch at the Sandbar Café before heading ‘home’ for an R&R afternoon.
