Flynn's beach, Port Macquarrie
We are back in Port Macquarie where we have spent a couple of days trying to get our motorhome ready for sale. We were first here on November 11 last year, the very first day that we travelled in our motorhome.
Yesterday we drove across the winding road from Tamworth to here. The road, like almost every road we have been on in New South Wales, is not very good. It is full of potholes, and the edges of the road are soft and broken. At two different spots through the mountains the edges of the road are completely washed out, and the road was open to only one lane of traffic. Several places there were signs that read, “Shoulders are Closed” which is curious, since there are rarely shoulders on the roads to begin with. While it has rained a lot here, I don’t recall the road being much better when we went through it last December either. At that time though we didn’t know that there actually are good roads in Australia, just not in New South Wales.
Today we just relaxed along the beaches. We read, sat and watched the ocean, and enjoyed the day. It was cool, about 22 °C, but for us Canadians that is a very comfortable temperature.
