Arrawarra/Coffs Harbour

Well we finally hit the road at around 8:30am for what turned out to be a drive of about 640 kilometers. We arrived at the Lorikeet caravan park at 5:30pm. That was after two stops (one around 10:30am and the other around 2pm) . The road conditions were good although we hit major (and I do mean major) road works near Coffs Harbour.

Given it was dark when we arrived at the caravan park, it put a whole new dimension on parking the caravan in its designated spot, but amazingly, it was done better than usual.

About an hour away from Arrawarra, the caravan manager phoned us to ask where we were. Given the information I gave here, she said that the reception would be closed before we got there so she would prepare a "Late arrival pack" for us with all the information we needed including code for the entrance boom gates.

We are soon settled in with a hot cup of coffee and pre-prepared food which went done really well.

I avoided unhitching the car from the van as it was just too dark - that would have to wait until the morning.

After a good nights sleep it was up at around 7am and there to greet us was two Kangaroos feeding about 10 meters away. Also joined by moor hens (or something like that).


Our impression of the caravan park was that it was excellent. Really friendly staff, amenities all around us in first class condition. The ground was prepared with grass mesh for the caravan and outside tables etc, whilst a concrete pad was available for the car.

Today (Saturday) we drove to Woolgoolga to visit the vet as I had forgotten Buddy's heart worm tablets and tick/flea treatment again nice people. We then drove to Coffs Harbour and had a look around the jetty area.

Finally, back at the caravan park were watched as the "3pm bird feed" took place.
