The Northshore Beaches of Sydney




As expected we woke early this morning with it being our first outdoors for a while. Mark disappeared down to the beach around 05:30 and took pictures of the sunrise and the surfers who were already out looking for that wave (mad 1 percenters).
After a healthy breakfast of Crunchy Nut cornflakes we set off to explore. We had a full packed day visiting 7 beaches just north of Sydney. We did some sunbathing at some, took photos at some and had a great packed lunch with the seagulls. It has been a fantastic day for weather with bright sunshine and a cooling breeze. It's a great start to our camping experience and we are really looking forward to making our way up towards Brisbane before Christmas.
Thanks to cousin Jen and Joe for the recommendation of seeing this brillant area of the country.
Tonight we are going to make fajitas and chill out maybe with a drink or two in the eating area of the campsite.
Tomorrow we head for Port Stephen (about 150km) up the coast.
Love to all at home.

  2. Yer absolutely loved it! Those pictures look great, I remember me and Beck doing the old auto picture in front of the tent. Make sure you also head to Port Macquarie, very nice little town with a great pancake place and the opportunity to do some kayak surfing. Heading to Cornwall on Sunday with Bess and Jen should be good apart from this stupid cast. I think I may be left at the bar a lot! Anyway hope your both well and look forward to hearing from you soon.
    Much love xxx
