Kings Around Oz: Foster to Sydney

Well we have been a bit busy and got a bit behind on the Blog so here is some of what we have been up to over the last few weeks. When we left Crescent Head we went to Foster. It was yet another seaside town where the kids could play at the beach and swim. Only problem was the water was very cold here and they were not keen for a swim. The next day we continued down the coast to Hawks Nest. First stop was the lookout on the way out of Foster. It was amazing, you had 360 degree views of the landscape and seascape. We then drove to Seal Rock and had a look at the light house. It was up a very steep hill but well worth the effort. When we reached the top we were lucky enough to sea some Humpback Whales playing, but as usual as soon as we got the camera out they stopped so we didn't get any good photos. The history of the lighthouse and the shipwrecks that occurred in the area were very interesting. By the end of the day we had made our way to Hawks Nest where we found a great little bush camp just outside of town on the Myall river. It was great to get back to the bush and enjoy some damper over the coals again and to toast marshmallows after dinner. One morning as we ate breakfast some dolphins swam by in the river, the kids were very excited to see this. We had a look around Hawks Nest and the kids made the most of the beach and the parks but mostly it was just a relaxing stop. From here we then drove just south of Newcastle to Gwandalan to see Laura's aunty and cousin. For a few more days we just relaxed and took it easy so that we were all rested and ready for the big smoke . . . Sydney!!!!! But more on that next Blog.
