2011 Summer Holiday

Well we are back at Red Rock NSW for the fourth year in a row. Still a beautiful, quiet and wonderful destination for a summer escape whilst we prepare for retirement travel. Once again we have met many fellow grey nomads who have made the jump and we are now even more restless. We have befriended a couple Ian and Suzanne Stockbridge who live in Bargara. They have had a variety of rigs but now travel in a Winnebago.We have enjoyed happy hour with them each evening and hope to keep in touch.

After a week in Red Rock decided to spend the rest of our break in a new camp. Came down the coast to Stuarts Point which is situated on Trial Bay just a bit north of South West Rocks. A  great little spot on the back water of the Macley River. On exploring the local area  we wish we had stayed at Grassy Head as it is closer to the surf beach.Not that we are lazy but there is a foot bridge across the river and about a 300 meter walk to the surf.  Scotts Head is also quite spectacular but a lot more built up.The whole coast is beautiful with miles of sandy beaches with hardly a soul on them.

Reunion 12 February 2011

Last Saturday we travelled to the Sunshine Coast to meet with two of Eric's old school chums. Alister Hawkins an his wife Alison ( we had not met before) and Peter Dodds. The last time we had seen each other was probably 1964 the year we finished  Highett High School. It was a great afternoon at the Buderim Hotel. We will definitely keep in touch and hopefully expand the group of reunited school mates from the Highett days.
