Beach bumming in Port Macquarie




Today we woke up early as the sun heated the tent. We had breakfast and were down at the beach by 9am. The surfers were out in force which gave us great entertainment. While watching them Rach noticed a group of fins in the water and it was a pod of dolphins. They were about 50 metres off the shore and hung around all day swimming up and down the coast. Near to the beach there was a viewing point called Nobby's Hill. From up there we could see that there were actually 3 pods of dolphins and some were frollocking in the waves. The picture was the best of a bad bunch but sort of shows them.
In the afternoon we retired back to the campsite and spent the remainder of the afternoon relaxing in the sun by the pool.
Tonight we plan to BBQ again and then tomorrow are heading up to Coffs Harbour.
Thank you for all the messages and hope you are all organised and ready for Christmas. We heard a Christmas song on the radio today and it sounded so out of place. Just can't get in the spirit when it's 35 degrees! Sorry but can't help rubbing it in.
Love
Rach & Mark. xxx
