Emerald Beach: Day Fifty-Four (12 December)

We explored more of the countryside around Emerald Beach today. The scenery is quite similar in parts to England rather than (New South) Wales (sorry Captain Cook), apart from seeing the odd kangaroo :-).

We visited Nana Glen where the actor Russell Crowe has a house and generously contributed to the cost of the local swimming pool. We drove home via Woolagoolga and bought snapper for supper, which was just as well. There was a really big rain storm tonight.

Emerald Beach: Day Fifty-Three (11 December)

In our friend's house the lounge is upstairs and the bedrooms are downstairs to make the most of this amazing view.

We had a relaxing day reading our books and walking on the beach. In the evening we went back to Woolgoolga and had a delicious dinner in a Thai restaurant.

Emerald Beach: Day Fifty-Two (10 December)

Today our friends took us to Woolgoolga (which means river mouth) for coffee and to explore.

In the afternoon we went for a walk along Emerald Beach and Fiddemans Beach. I didn't see any emeralds but I did see lots of people surfing. In the evening we spotted this fantastic rainbow: the first time I've ever seen a whole one. The arc started in the sea and ended on the beach - there was no sign of the pot of gold though :-).
