Nimbin drive-thru (cont'd.)

It seems as though the last blog chopped off in the middle of a sentence - so continuing on....
After Nimbin we climbed up through Nightcap National Park, rejoining the Pacific Hwy at Murwillumbah, then on to a great overnight rest area beside the Richmond River, known as Stotts Island. An early arrival here enabled us to sit in the warm sunshine and watch the rest of the world hurry by. Several other overnighter's joined us here as darkness approached.
As we are only 30 or so kilometres from Tallebudgera where we are booked in for a week, we took the opportunity to re-arrange cupboards etc in the van before moving on about 11:00am.
Arrived a day earlier than originally planned at Tallebudgera, however our waterfront site was available so in we went. Most of the afternon was spent getting settled in and putting up the annex. Mid afternon we went for a walk along the waterfront then out to the surf breakwater and along the beach past the Surf Lifesaving Club. As this weekend is a long weekend in Queensland, the park is packed with families and hundreds of ankle biters on little bikes and scooters. It is really lovely to see families out enjoying this beautiful water-side playground.
As Gail intends to catch the bus from here to Tweed Heads each day of the CWA conference, we decided to catch the bus on Saturday to Pacific Fair to check timetables etc. The Gold Coast public transport service is very good with buses passing the front of the park every half hour in both directions.
The conference kicked off on Sunday afternoon with a combined Church Service, held in the main auditorium of Twin Towns Leagues Club. After that we went to The Northumberland Group Dinner - also held at the club.
The weather has been fantastic since our arrival here and the forecast is for continuing sunny days until next Sunday. bye for now...
Love to all,
Kevin and Gail.
