Eagles Reach - NSW (Day 5)

Just a quick post today as our little road trip holiday ended on a lovely note... on the drive back we stopped in at Byron Bay (which is one of my favorite places) for a bite to eat and a dip in the sea!



As soon as we got home, we were back out again as we had been invited out to dinner with some friends so all in all we had a great holiday and cant wait for another one! xx

Eagles Reach - NSW (Day 4)

It was time to start heading back home to Brisbane so we packed up, Sy did a spot of fishing as he was desperate to catch a fish of a Yabby...



Nearly ended up catching a small turtle, it kept steeling the bait grrrrrrr.... still no Yabby tho :(

So off we headed to Port Macquarie which is about 6 hours away from Brisbane.... we stopped here for some fish and chips and a trip to the beach.......and to stay over before the long drive back...

Eagles Reach - NSW (Day 3)

With an action packed day ahead of us, off we went to breakfast.... Sy had the full English and I had Pancakes yum yum...... First activity of the day was to have a massage.... ahhhhhhhh...... now we were all relaxed we decided to hire some Kayaks and go fishing in the lagoon.....


Sy taking it easy
I thought that was quite a nice picture because the water was so still Sy's reflection looks awesome!

Sy had a couple of visitors.....


he did not catch a think lol... but he tried.....

We also saw the ducks dipping for food.... well it was ducking under the water to get the flowers from the water Lilly....

The lagoon was quite small so it wasn't much of a Kayaking adventure ha ha

After we hired a golf buggy where we could run around the whole mountain, it was great.... we stopped off to see some awesome views and Sy tried a second attempt to catching fish in another lagoon but alas no luck...



We drove up to the peak of the mountain where we could see the town of Vasey.... it was a lovely view..










As you can see we had fun ha ha, could have stayed there all day! I love places like this where there are such beautiful views it makes me feel happy and alive!

Sy took some arty pictures too which I thought looked quite cool!



Then off we went again in the buggy! Sy loved it!


Sy stood on a sharp stone then went through his flip flop as I was taking a picture of him oops can you see the pain on his face poor lad .....


We went for a walk and ended up getting a bit lost, not really something you want to be doing on a mountain in hot weather and no water..... lucky we found our way back down a dirt path we had just been walking round in circles all the time ha ha ha....

As the sun set we had a lovely dinner and just relaxed ahhhhh what a great day :)

Night night xx

Eagles Reach - NSW (Day 2)

Finally arrived at Eagles Reach a whole 9000 kilometers from Brisbane..... it was quite a long drive up to the top of the mountain and we saw lots of Kangaroos!

We got to the reception where they gave us a glass of Champers and bag with chocolates and a bottle of champers too!... we took the key and off we went to our lodge....


Inside there was our room and also a communal room with a pool table etc..... it overlooked off the mountain, the view was fantastic.. here are some pictures!





Once we had unpacked we went down for dinner, oh and to feed the kangaroos!






Ha ha ha it was great! They are soooooo cute I don't know how people can eat them :(

Well after this we had some food (not kangaroo).. and went back for a game of pool.... ha I just remembered  taking a picture of Sy and then I made him take it again ha ha can you guess why??

Eagles Reach - NSW (Day 1)

Today we set off on our holiday to Eagles Reach, which is just outside Newcastle (Australia)... Eagle Reach

First stop was Warrick (Morgan Park Raceway) as I had gotten Sy a Lotus Exige race experience for his birthday back in September. He loved it! Binned the car a couple of times (couple of 360 degree x 2 spin offs) ha ha! He made the most out of it tho and tried to go as fast as he could..... still tho......"its no motor bike" which of course are better at everything ha ha ha....








Then we headed off up and down the mountains to Coffs Harbor where we were to stay for the night before heading further down south. The drive was lovely lots of pot holes but lovely... here are a couple of pictures we took on the way....




There were also some birds that made crazy noises so we also took a video



Once we arrived at Coffs Harbor, the place where we had booked was nothing quite like the pictures we saw on the internet... we were scammed... they called the place Paradise Palms..... and it was no paradise! We were too late to opt out so we went for a Curry and then to the cinema.... then back to the stink hole ha ha ha...... it was that bad we didnt even shower in the morning (we could not get out fast enough).... the good point tho was it made us get up early so we could get to Eagle Reach ealy whoop whoop!
