Back to the early starts. We slipped out of the B&B at 6 a.m. to go birdwatching at the nearby National Park. We were on the Skywalk, above the forest canopy as the sun rose, supposedly a good time for birdwatching but today it was thin - possibly due to the bitterly cold 10C which Australians believe is the start of a new ice age.
After an excellent breakfast which included scrambled eggs with smoked salmon we made our farewells and drove back down towards the coast. For the next section of our journey we had no alternative but to use the Pacific Highway. The traffic was quieter today and we made good progress towards Australia's Great Lakes area. You didn't know that did you? These are just inland and are rather pretty. We found a motel called Bluey's by the Beach in a small town called Bluey's Beach. We shopped at Bluey's Supamart, bought wine at Bluey's Cellars and Deli and had a beer at Huey's@Bluey's. Isn't family great.
Rosena requested a plodge in the Pacific so we made our way to the eponymous beach which was almost deserted. Those of you familiar with the Watsons might expect to see a picture of Rosena knee deep in the Pacific Ocean at this point. Here's one of Dave instead. Back at Bluey's we swam a few lengths in the pool just to show willing. Tonight's gourmet delight included Afghan Dip-ins, a cross between pitta bread and roofing tiles that are a serious danger to dental fillings.
