You asked for it, so here it is! Well, maybe you didn't but you're getting it anyway :=) More about our recent trip down south/out west. We love a roadtrip! And art galleries, and mountains and wildlife, and food, and architecture - well, you get the drift ...
 |
| we saw kangaroos at Ebor-Guy Fawkes Cemetery, NSW |
 |
we stayed at The Pottery Shed cottage in Boambee near Coffs Harbour
- see the wee gas stove? |
 |
| we took a walk on the Coffs Harbour Jetty |
 |
| and joined lots of folk taking a morning stroll |
 |
| heading here! |
 |
| I bought a small ceramic whale here, by Indigenous artist Tony Hart |
 |
| I ate a fabulous rösti with grilled halloumi |
 |
| while Mr P. had "magic" apple-cinnamon pancakes |
 |
| we had lunch here in Sawtell (as per above) |
 |
we visited the brilliant new building holding the Coffs Harbour Council/Library and Art Gallery
- artwork on wall by Reece Flanders titled River Connections |
 |
| Mr P. and I loved this building! |
 |
| and we enjoyed walking around the top storey of the building |
 |
| we had time for a coffee! |
And then we drove the 4.5 hours home, back to Brisbane. Some misguided people would like to suggest that time goes backward when you cross the QLD border. How silly of them, and how clever of us to keep 'em away - hehehe ...

Love seeing the kangaroos, the architecture, and all the views! And the haloumi on rösti looked amazing! Thanks for sharing with us. David (C&L)
