Exploring new ground.

Time to move on - so we headed back into Kew on the Pacific Hwy. then turned north again. I lovely day so it wasn't long before shorts and T-shirts were the order of the day. A brief stop in Kempsey, then on to Coffs Harbour where we detoured via The Jetty area to check out a possible overnight stop freebie. Not suitable, so after some grocery shopping in town we continued on. We next checked out another potential overnight rest area in Woolgoolga, but agreed it was too noisy so again moved on. We eventually chose a nice rest area between Coffs and Grafton to rest our heads tonight.
It was much warmer last night than the cold nights we have previously experienced.
On the road again at 9:30am, then a detour near Ballina onto the Bruxner Hwy. to Lismore, then on to Nimbin. We have never been to Nimbin before hence this detour. Parking was impossible in the main street of Nimbin, which is pretty much built on the side of a hill. We did a slow pass down the main street which enabled us to get the general feel of the place. It is still very much a "hippy hide-out
