Whoopee! We're in Woopi!






We departed Ocean Shores on November 30 and stopped in Ballina for morning tea and beside the river at Evans Head for lunch. The plan was to spend a few days (at least) in Yamba, but by the time we got there the heavens had opened and one night with the pouring rain was all we could handle. The following day we checked out the waves (through the fog) at Angourie Point, the tartan power poles at MacLean, then hung out at Grafton Shopping World for several hours (what a day!) It continued to pour down upon us at Corindi Beach but luckily the next stop was the luxury of Janice and Greg's place at Woolgoolga (called Woopi for short). Over the next 12 days we had an amazing time exploring all the beautiful beaches around Woopi and Coffs Harbour including Sapphire Beach, Emerald, Red Rock and Sawtell. We also took a drive up through Nana Glen and Coramba, and did a fabulous trip along the Waterfall Way. One day we visited Karen, Ken, Liamm and Connor in Lower Bucca and had a barbie. We had met these guys when we were in SW Victoria and caught up again in Wrights Bay, South Australia. On Janice and Greg's property was the 3 Bears House and several other miniature houses left over from when the place used to be a theme park. It was very cute. We also wrapped our scarves around us and visited the Guru Nanak Gurdwara which is the spectacular white Sikh temple in Woopi.
