The day started at 7:14 when I woke up. We drove to the information center only
to learn that it opened at 9, Hari found this outrageous and said to me that
they are lazy.
We headed back to the beach for a walk along the edge and to
see all these different painted rocks.
After a while of talking we walked back to the beach to cool our feet
off and then back to the center we went!
So many rocks!
Not as good as the real thing.
Adventure Time!
Rocks or Art?
Look, it's me!
We checked out this nature reserve walk and decided to do that.
It took us 15 minutes to drive there but 2 hours to walk it. What we thought was a round-a-bout trail turned out to be several trails all leading away from the main road. We walked for so long and only when we came to a vineyard and Hari had twisted his ankle did we ask for directions. The man told us the Googee trail we went on is about 20 min but you are suppose to turn around when you reach the end. We laughed at each other and headed back the way we came; Hari limping the whole time.
So cool
I love fungi!
So much forest
Straight ahead, no stopping!
Pretty
Where do we go?
We seemed to move faster the way back despite Hari having to
use me and a stick as his crutch.
The relieve we felt when we got back to the car was like seeing water in
a desert. Next stop was to a koala
rescue place. I somehow managed to
mix that up with a hostel and we went there instead; Hari did nothing but laugh
at me on the car ride back.
Lunch was a quick stop for veggie burgers and then to a
boat-renting place. We had some
trouble getting there but not much.
I got to drive the boat most of the way which was super fun! We went in and out of water front homes
and when Hari drove he swerved the very slow boat side-to-side in an attempt to
scare me; it didn’t work.
Watch out boats!
Getting wet again
Nap time.
Next stop was to the actual koala rescue center, which
turned out to be a bit depressing.
I was excited at first because I thought about the Hanson Bay Sanctuary;
it was not like this at all. I was
quite relieved when we left and headed to our last stop… the lighthouse.
No room to move
All fences
At least the babies get released.
Hari mostly wanted to stop here so he could rest and I could
catch up on my typing. So this is
what I am doing here in the somewhat cold wind as Hari sleep on the bench…
typing. It is quite nice because
the magpies are super brave and come really close to me and the ocean is always
nice to hear. I however want to
get going to Coffs Harbor so now I will wake Hari and be off!
Always tired.
Lighthouse.
So bold.
Hari’s internet has run out so now we have to use maps… I
can’t read maps. We got lost for
20 minutes before turning around and starting over. Finally I managed to get us back on the correct highway and
off we went!
How do you read a map?
It seemed to take us forever to get to Coffs harbor and of
course it started raining again. I
didn’t mind the rain but it makes driving extremely difficult and to make
matters worse our headlights wouldn’t work. Hari had to resort to using his high beams, which didn’t go
over too well if we passed another car and they weren’t off.
It was about time when we made it to Coffs harbor because we
were both tired and ready for bed.
After a heaping meal of Thai food that neither of us could finish we
headed for our campsite.
Before we got there though I was told there were no
bathrooms in the area and would have to take my shower here. Yay, another cold shower for Kali! I have gotten use to them by now and it
doesn’t really bug me, only the fact that I can’t go pee when I wake up now.
I finally get to sleep now.
