    @Gemma, funny 2 weeks ago that blue water was a murky brown color from all the flood waters exiting the Hastings River…..amazing how mum nature cleans herself up….amazing for now, i think she is well over due for a hand, even if its just picking up McDonald wrappers & cups in the beach car parks

    One of our favourite places to stay on our way through to Sydney. But our overnight usually turns into quite a few days. Love this place.

    Port Macquarie is a great spot on the NSW coast. We stayed for a few nights back in September and have visited on a few occasions prior to that. I also chat to the local ABC station every Wednesday morning (apologies to the locals). Thanks for the lovely photo.

    that photo looks like a computer image of something that will be built in the future, with little fake people placed where real people will go when the skate park is built. amazing! so it’s real and happened? really interesting picture!
