And so our new adventure begins....finishing work on the 8th September was a sad day as the LJ Hooker family has been a big part of our lives for the past 10 years and I will miss each and everyone of the wonderful, generous people I met over those years.  If only I could have tucked them into the caravan somewhere to come along on our journey. 
Leaving Kingscliff we headed to Urunga where we enjoyed a last couple of days with Mel & James. 


Our campsite at Urunga

Mel & James - miss you guys xx

Then onto Hat Head for a couple of days relaxing and getting into this semi-retirement mode.


Whale watching at a new level - we could actually hear them through this gap

Wow this is one place we can really recommend.  It's a National Park, with a caravan park and bowling club - what more could you want.  We chilled out, did some fishing and enjoyed a few bush walks.

We also visited South West Rocks and enjoyed the old goal and the light-house.

Next stop - Port Macquarie to catch up with Bruce & Louise - great few days and we miss you both (lets catch up again soon )

We had a job interview lined up in Orange, so that was our next stop,  Travelled through flood waters but car and van handled it well..

 

We are now lined up to work for the Cherry harvest in Orange to commence around the 20th October.  We will both be working in the packing shed.   Watch this space to see how this goes !!
