Saturday 3rd September – Day 42
Only one week to go. We packed our gear, said our farewells, and left Garry’s about 12:15.
Booked in and set up camp in the Tallebudgera Creek van park, as we had to meet more of Mark’s rello’s for dinner.

We ended up going to the bowling club. After coffee and baklava, we had to go back and finish setting up.

Sunday 4th September – Day 43
We went for a stroll down along Tallebudgera Creek and onto the break wall near the beach. Soon after returning we then had to get ready for our dinner date with Warren and Jennifer, more friends from Gymea days. We met them at their apartment which overlooks Currumbin Beach. It was a beautiful, 180 degree view, looking north and south. They have lived there for quite a while, and have no desire to go back to a normal house situation. We walked from there down to The Rock surf club for dinner. The six of us sat outside and had a lovely dinner and chat. It was good to see them again.

Monday 5th September – Day 44
A normal start for us as we packed up once again, to head further south. Today’s target is Yamba. Nothing exciting happened along the way, unless you can call coffee at McDonald’s in Ballina. We arrived at the Blue Dolphin Park in Yamba about 1pm, and set up.

Mark and I ended up driving into town and then went to the break wall. We didn’t get back until about 5pm. From there it was dinner, sit around the caravan, sort out what we are planning to do, and then showers and bed. Unfortunately the weather forecast is not too promising, so we shall have to wait and see.
