The weekend in Grafton watching the womens northern half state championship was great, camped at the Grafton Vintage Motor Car Club, probably the best value around town. Left Monday & had an explore at Ulmarra, then drove through Maclean and Yamba before heading for the Lawrence Tavern for the night, pub shut at 4pm so had lunch & a couple of beers, Tuesday headed to Coutts Crossing Tavern for another pub stay, sorry no photos. Have headed to Ebor to check out the falls & spend the night at a donation camp

This week, after a blood test in Taree, I did a couple of short hops to Coopernook Forest HQ, then the Coopernook hotel, where I caught up for a beer with JD, then a night at Delicate Nobby campground near Crescent Head, watched state of origin outside the caravan with a fire. Headed north Thursday in quite substantial rain did a drive through Macksville and Nambucca Heads before ducking a few k's up the waterfall way to sit out the rain watching TV inside the van. Up early today to head to Grafton to watch the womens masters this weekend.

Hopefully a quick visit to Services Australia to sort out my gov account Monday morning then start heading a little further north

A 5 night stay in the Myall Lakes National Park, it was so windy for the first couple of days with Matthew Hilton & Melissa Larson , that the tent next to me was flattened (I didn't get a photo) & the pop up ensuite in the pictures was nearly as bad. The rest of my stay I befriended a group of van campers, who were quite hospitable
