Lismore to Rockhampton
The weather has been good to us with clear skies and mid twenty’s temperatures . A lot of roadworks on the Bruce Highway which is a good thing. We did call into Byron Bay to go out to Cape Byron to the eastern most point of Australia but there were so many people that the parking was closed so we could only drive in and out. Well it didn’t matter wasn’t that impressed with the place so back on the highway and headed to tweed heads . We needed an auto electrician to look why our aux battery wasn’t charging ,found a guy in machinery dr Tweed Heads and he looked at the car straight away found the problem and had it fixed.

Home to Lismore
Left early Saturday morning, winter hasn’t quite set in yet so it was quite pleasant, the traffic was light as we Heading up towards Newcastle with a slight detour out to East Branxton and called in for a chat and a cuppa with Shae and the girls.
Back on the road heading north, we made our way up to Wauchope with another slight detour to visit old family friends Marg and Barry. It was wonderful to catch up and we all had a lot to talk about as the afternoon soon dwindled and we were invited to stay the night with the motive to chat some more.
After a great evening and a good nights sleep the reminiscing continued into the morning and soon we had to get back on the road north stopping of for a look at South West Rocks.
Lovely little spot on the beach although would be very touristy in season.
The main highway, the M1 was quite new in places but it has bypassed all the small towns, not so good for them as they loose a lot of tourist trade. There is a lot of bridges being built and major road works around Grafton to Woodburn, I guess it’s progress.
