On we go ... Up the Freeway - 12th May

We reluctantly left our lakes side site and continued on towards Port Macquarie - there is a Freeway that runs up the East coast to Brisbane but in parts you would not recognise it as a motorway since it has cyclists (very few) and right turns (lots). Sometimes we venture down a 'tourist route' but these roads can be quite variable and sometimes resemble English country lanes (even though they seem to be a major road on the map!). It does mean we can visit some surfing beaches and smaller towns though although so far the coast is quite built up with some sizeable cities which can be challenging to navigate - both due to the navigator and the size of the van!! We came across our first full site today so stayed somewhere less salubrious - the bonus was a magnificent sunset over the river.
