Due to the current COVID-19 virus, and a recent family matter. Our planed holiday to Bali was deferred, then canceled. So to keep the holiday time period, within 24 hours, a trip to Cairns was organised.
A overnight stay in the city at Pier One Walsh Bay for a company Christmas Party, plus a chance at maybe capturing a awesome sunrise with blood red sky from the smoke in the air from the bushfires.
Decided to spend a few days in Newcastle for the October long weekend. 5.30am start,so as to miss the traffic on Pendle Hill road, and a lot of frustration. Rolled into Newcastle around 8am, and time to look for a place serving breakfast.
Another year, and another 4 week trip to America to visit family, and to explore. Landed in San Francisco, and then headed to Berkeley, my wife’s hometown.
Four days of no sounds manmade,but the gentle rumble of waves rolling onto the shoreline. We had a beautiful stay in the Headkeeper’s cottage at Sugarloaf Point Lighthouse.
A 4am start to our drive to Port Macquarie. The reason for the early start, to avoid traffic on Pendle Hill road as people flee Sydney for the Easter long weekend.
