Week 1 - Anna Bay - Pt Plomer - Darlington Beach

First stop One Mile Beach Caravan Park (Anna Bay) for 3 nights.
Joel's favourite park from past trips because of the slippery dip into the pool.

Bustin' a move on the dance slab.
 Chillin out (for 5 seconds)

 Look Grandma & Poppa - no training wheels.

 Cody the speed demon.


Next stop Pt Plomer (national park south of Cresent Head).
Beautiful spot but no power and BYO water!!  (3 nights).

The boys hunting & gathering - collecting firewood for the campfire.


Good effort Joel

and Cody's effort.
Plomer Back Beach - all to ourselves.
Fun sand sliding
"Whatever you can do I can do too!"

Make shift congo drums around the campfire - apologies to the neighbours.

The things you do when there is no tv.

Pt Plomer camp - by Joel the apprentice photographer.
Pt Plomer native - a tenth of the size of his goanna mate who frequented our camp.  Apparently a dingo was also fossicking around our camp whilst we slept.
Ripin it up at Pt Plomer

And he's up!

Cody getting into the action too at Crescent Head inlet.
A moment of friendship.

Next Stop Darlington Beach Caravan Park, Arrawarra north of Coffs (4 nights).

Joel's new favourite caravan park.

A little quicker down the slide than anticipated!!
