Scotts Head

On Tuesday the 24th November we were off to Scotts Head. This is the view as you crest the hill overlooking Scotts Head.
Fitting on to the site in the van park was a chore because a light pole was right in the way of where I needed to swing around whilst backing the van in. However, nice neighbours were helpful in guiding me around. I wound up having to go close to about four neighbours vans and vehicles but that’s OK. So after setup and lunch we took a drive around town to get our bearings. Firstly we drove up overlooking Little Beach.
Then to another of the headlands there for more nice views.
The van park is adjacent to both Little Beach and Main Beach. Main Beach is just beautiful with crystal clear water and not much in the way of waves but it make it a beautiful swim. You can bet we were straight in for a swim.
That night we went to the Bowling Club for dinner which was pretty good. In the morning we took a drive out to Grassy Head. It is a nice quiet spot, surrounded by National Park. It has a nice Beach.
Then we went on to Stuart’s Point. It is a fisherman’s paradise. There is a van park there and I reckon everyone owned a tinny. It is right on the river and the waterway continues down to South West Rocks.
We had a number of swims that day back at Scotts Head.
On Thursday morning after breakfast I went fishing. I am not a keen enough fisherman to get up at dawn or earlier. First of all I went to Little Beach and then over to Main Beach. I gave it a good long time but did no good. Maybe because I didn’t get up early??
So had more swims and a good energy walk that day. Love this spot.
That evening we went out on sunset and walked up the headland between Main Beach and Little Beach. Whilst it was not a spectacular sunset it was very peaceful and beautiful.
I did get up early the next morning to see the views from the headland. The morning sun on the water made it so beautifully clear.
Loved Scotts Head and we will return. Friday morning we hooked up and pulled the van out to the street. Just had to have one last swim. After that we left for Macksville.

Swansea & Final Post

We left the Coopernook Hotel on Friday the 4th and went to Linda’s parents place on the central coast. We helped out her parents there. Then took the opportunity to leave the van there and slip home and mow all the lawns and clean the pool and get a couple of other things done. On the Sunday afternoon we went back to the -n-laws place and stayed the night. Monday morning following a relaxed breakfast we headed off for Swansea. It was only a 40 minute run to get there and we couldn’t check in before 11am. It was probably only ten minutes after that that we arrived and started setting up. We were right on Lake Macquarie. Incredible position. It was great catching up with our friends Lynn and Wal. They are friends we have made whilst caravanning. We first met them in 2013 in Katherine, NT, on our first big trip. We were camped beside them and really it off. Spent more time with them at Edith Falls. Then on the road home from that trip we stayed with them at their home near Raymon Terra...

North Haven & Dunbogan

On Tuesday the 17th November we took our time to get organized to pack up and leave as we were only travelling 6km. When we came through North Haven we were amazed how beautiful the water way was and the beach and so decided we would come back there for a few days. So we had a relaxed morning including a walk and then packed up and left. Five minutes later we arrived at North Haven. I don’t think we have ever had a shorter trip between camps. Check in time at the van park was 11am so we went for a coffee overlooking the river before checking in. From one Reflections van park to another, we are staying in the North Haven Reflections Caravan Park. Plenty of room here and big sites. We are very close to the beach and the mouth of the river. Had a relaxing afternoon and put a roast on the webber for a great evening meal. Wednesday morning we chose to take a drive to check out the general area. The North Haven Beach is only 100 metres from the van park. Pretty nice beach but not much o...

Kempsey

On Monday the 23rd of November we left Crescent Head. We took a drive with the van on and dropped in to Hat Head. We were prepared to stay if we liked it but we were not that impressed. It looked like there was some red weed at the beach there as well. The little inlet did not look impressive to us and otherwise there was really nothing there. Se we moved on and stayed at the Kempsey Showground. Again it was power and water for $20. Most showgrounds now shut their main gate at night which provides a good amount of security. There are some towns you need that more than most but staying in almost any town and not in a caravan park itself it is good to have precautions. That afternoon we had a look around town. I have always found the bridge and river a nice spot at Kempsey. We went to the Visitor Information Centre to find out what there was to see. I knew about the Slim Dusty Centre and was planning on doing that the next day. I found out, however, that it had still not reopened. ...
