Recaptured a bit of lost youth on a 2-hour quad bike trek through the dunes at beautiful Coral Bay, near Exmouth. White sands, turquoise water, turtles and manta rays plus a slight sea breeze - stunning!
On leaving Port Macquarie and rounding a bend at 95Km/h, a caravan towed by a ute in front of us lost a good deal of his load. With debris spread over both lanes, it was a matter of running over what we couldn't avoid. A mighty whump followed and on arriving at Coffs Harbour, we found quite a bit of our undercarriage plumbing mising. Handy Mr Fixit has his work cut out tomorrow! (Maybe he can rig something up using this Thong Tree?)
We enjoyed the last of the afternoon sun over a drink at the newish marina development near Mackay's busy port (exporting sugar & coal.) The lighthouse was the last kerosene powered light in Australia, moved here in 1983.
These amazing layered sedimentary rocks near Port Arthur look like Inca paving stones, having eroded over millennia into oblong blocks about 40cm high. Australian geology/geography is really interesting and varied.
