After spending Christmas and more time
than originally intended at Rosie's and the farm in Hannam Vale, it
was time for us to leave the place of rural peace and tranquility and start
moving north to see some sites and visit friends. We’ve had a great time at
Johns River and Hannam Vale. I got to
play at Rosie's Cafe just like in the old days when we had restaurants in Sydney,
and Patricia helped to set up the Gallery with her donated photographs of the
local birdlife, which look great and are very
much admired by the visitors.

The Cafe is starting to pick up, and Luke and Lorri will make it a
place for people to come and enjoy an hour of relaxing with great food and
coffee and browsing through the Gallery and the gift-shop.
Our first destination is Port Macquarie where we are staying with
my aunt, Janet, and Eric. Mal was
generous enough to drive us here, which is about 30 miles north of Johns
River. Because we arrived a bit early
and no one was home, we dropped our suitcases in the garage and walked to the
beach. We just love the ocean, and the beaches here are so beautiful and
seemingly endless. At the beach, we
encountered an unfamiliar site and wondered if we could get away with telling
everyone that we made a quick stopover in Dubai.

After walking for a while along the beach, we found a coffee shop (Bitter
Sweet) and treated ourselves to a cup of tea and some eggs for breakfast.
Back at the house, we spent the afternoon with Eric and his
daughter, Sue.
The camels took us for a lop when there in 2001, Fran Pam and granddaughter took the challenge while Neal and I took photos.
