Overseas tour Day 480 – Bangalow

Possibly our most chilled day on our tour to date.

We woke to the most amazing views looking out across a rainforest as well as a lemon myrtle and macadamia plantation. So stunning and incredibly quiet & serene.

After Andy had been out for his daily 10km jog around the town, we breakfasted out on the verandah in the morning sunshine. It really doesn’t get much better than this…

Being a Saturday, we found a farmers market in the centre of Bangalow and went to explore and mix with the locals.

The market was awash with local produce as well as a rock band playing tunes for the young and old.

We got close to buying various foods, but in truth buying a leg of lamb didn’t seem a good idea with a 3.5hr drive tomorrow.

Real food and real farmers, what a great strap line. It was wonderful to spend time exploring the market and then move on to a great coffee stop just off the Main Street.

This is such a bohemian place, with bare footed people wandering around the streets feasting on avocado sourdough toasties and drinking flat white coffee.

After a morning in town, we returned to our stunning guest house on the hill and settled down next to the pool and embraced the scenic views.

We proceeded to enjoy our house on the hill having the place almost to ourselves for the afternoon.

Got comfortable with a good book

Tonight we changed into our weekend attire and toasted the end of the day with a glass of vino before settling into another dinner courtesy of Foodworks.

After dinner and before dark we went for a wander around the 99 acre estate in search of local wildlife.

One for the sunset

Tomorrow we are back on the road and have a long drive south on the Pacific Highway to Nambucca Heads, where we plan to spend a couple of days back on the beach staying in The Beach Rooms.
