This early part of the trip has a sense of urgency about it because we would like to be in Brisbane around the time of the birth of our 8th grandchild to Lisa and Craig, although it is now not so pressing because Lisa's parents are going to be there to look after Jacob.

From Hallidays point we decided to take more time to look around and smell the roses. So with the intention of staying at south west rocks, we set off up the road with it still raining. We took a scenic off highway route on a whim and wound up in a little fishing village called Seal Rocks. In misty drizzly rain it looked like a scene out of a movie all that was missing was the baying of wolves. We immediately fell in love with the place and made a vow that we will return for a stay in the future.
On to South West Rocks, John and Nolene's favorite caravaning spot, we found the park right on the beach in the middle of Town. Unbelievable we managed to get a beaut site along the back wall over the road from the pub, we booked for three nights and would liked to have stayed longer.
We unpacked the bikes and went for a ride around town. its a beaut little town with much charm and character and we can easily understand why John and Nolene love it so much. We rode into a tidy little cul de sak and did not realise that we were in an aboriginal area until we saw a galvanised iron leanto with beat up old lounges and a sign saying Eddys Bar. A friendly lady told us a short cut back to town . Bikes are a great way to site see..more later
