The final leg


What can I say about Smiths lake.....it's about 30mins south of Forster.....it's a huge salt water inlet.....and it's one of the most beautiful places iv ever been. We were hospitably put up by Jeff, Amme, Eve, Jade, Dave, Jemma, Kinan and Jude. Thanks so so much.
We arrived at sunset and were able to sit and watch the flat head jump, whilst sipping a lovely recordelig. (spelling?) Jeff fished and jade climbed out to the rocks she was told not to climb to, then she cried as she was too scared to climb back.....oh so entertaining.
Those children really made the time there.....Evie (4) became obsessed with feeding the birds and would constantly be putting multitudes of seed out for them inspite of being told not too.
This would cause a swarm of all kinds of different birds that would in the end be irritating....especially when the the doves came.....doves.....stupidest birds in the world.
When sitting at the lake confrontations could be heard from the house.....jeff's low warble exchanged with evies high pitched squeal, we just knew she had been into the seed again.
But that problem was fixed when jeff put all the seed on the highest shelf in the world. Evie is still trying to figure out how to get to it now.
Saturday we drove out to a beach that we can't remember the name of, Lizzie surfed while me n ash collected starfish and put them in a bucket to show the kids.
We drove home had a quick treat stop and got home and into the red wine.....mmmmmm ***at the bottle we had brought a $9 bottle of wine a $6 one and a $4 one.....we drank them in that order and they got less enjoyable in that order. The $6 bottle tasted like ribena....
We finished with Glen Livett.....and yes I do Lovett.
Sleep












We departed Smiths lake headed for Kempsey to dine for lunch with Jo, Peter and Asha Jeremyn, where we sat out on the verandah sipping on tea overlooking their gorgeous view. (Thanks so much )

We then headed off to the Kempsey meeting and onwards to Scotts head! Staying with Grace, Adam and Oliver at their awesome place was great. Olly showed us his sweet dance moves , whilst we waited for the chooks to lay some eggs for us for brekky.... 


After a quick dip in the ocean, some lunch and an opshop sesh at Bellingen, we headed off for Hursulas final leg of the tarmac- LENNO!!
