It was goodbye to Casuarina this morning as we drove south on the coast road, with a stop off at Hastings Point, down to the laidback town of Brunswick Heads.

We spent an enjoyable hour walking along the Cudgera Creek where we met a friendly pelican who was hanging around looking for fish handouts.

Andy was given some fish guts by a local fishermen and fed a very ‘snappy’ pelican who gobbled up the snack in a second.

We ambled out to Hastings Point Lookout and took in the views back over Maggie’s Beach, a wonderful sandy affair.

We arrived into Brunswick Heads around midday and went for a wander around this fashionable little town with its funky street art and great restaurants and boutique stores.

We then found our way to Brunswick Heads Main beach and Andy performed his star jump for old times sake!

The beach locals have sculptured an arch way out of drift wood and it seemed only right we should grab a photo, akin to those taken in Bali & Lombok back in March last year.

Michelle was keen to take in the views from the Brunswick headland, close to where locals were fishing.

After exploring the beach we checked into our Brunswick Heads motel where we settled into a spot of pool time.

After a relaxing time, we returned to the beach for a late afternoon walk across the Simpson’s Creek pedestrian bridge and on to Harry Hills Beach.

The sunshine made a late return this afternoon, so we enjoyed a dip in the ocean then finished our beach wander with the countless dog walkers.

Tonight we plan to have a quiet affair catching up with our plans for the next few days in Byron Bay and Lennox Heads.
