Corrimal, NSW Australia

Dear Ethel, Family and friends,
It’s been a big week catching up with family and friends but we started the week in Forster then on to Nelson Bay, Newcastle, Toowoon Bay on the Central Coast, an old favourite of ours, then on to Sydney for the weekend.

We caught up with Louise’s nephew Arron for a few days in New castle. Aaron and his partner Tegan and son Trent own and run a pet shop in Mayfield and seem to do a thriving business but work hard for it, spending 10 hour days at the shop. We also caught up with long time friends Mary Anne and Wendy as well. It’s always great catching up with folks.


We arrived in Sydney on Saturday afternoon and decided to stay at Narrabeen. Nice enough Caravan Park but very expensive at $45 a night for a powered site. There was a big storm that night so we spent most of our time in the van. Sunday we went into town and found parking outside the art gallery, so went in to see the Archibald Exhibition. After a wander around the Botanical Gardens we visited Wendy and ended up staying at the Ramsgate Caravan Park. It’s a bit weird, rundown and way overpriced at $43 a night. Today we have headed south through the Royal National Park and now staying at Corrimal.
So all the best till next time
Ric & Louise
