At Grafton we were thinking about where we gonna go next, the answer is ….DON’T KNOW!! Good!! let`s just leave Grafton. Yes! we did, just headed to coffs harbour that way and we see. From Grafton to Coffs Harbour only 85km, on the way Lilia was looking for place where to stay and somehow, we saw Red Rock caravan park is looking for workers on SEEK so Ruben says, let`s go there and see the place if we like it and if they need workers! so let`s go to Red Rock.
Red Rock
The place we are falling in love with….
The entry into Red Rock town center, the first thing you see is crystal clear water- Corindi River. It was so beautiful, we both got so excited we said : let`s stay here for a week.
Checked in at Reflections Park. We got a good site just 50m from the river. We also asked if they need any workers, yes! they did but we have to wait till the new managers are here in 2 weeks time. This park just about to hand over to Reflections Holiday Park. The old owner can`t do anything about it but we got a chance to meet the General Manager, we handed over our CV, told him give us a chance if this park need people. After that We decided to stay here for 2 weeks and have little holidays before get the job.
Red Rock itself has its own communities as they said NO to town water!! But people live here are very nice and relax. Everyday we seen people get out of house for swim, walk, kayak, paddle boarding , surfing or fishing, so many activity thing to do here. So do we, we explored the area ,cycling, walking , fishing and relaxing like we live here.
We loved here and we call it sloppy town.
Wooli Beach-On the BMW
On Lilia`s birthday, we decide to get on dirt road adventure. We got on Solitary Islands Way then turned off on Barcoongere Way toward to Wooli was about 31km on dirt and 30km on the road.
We had good fun today.
On the Dirt Bike
Went for a ride with someone I met on Facebook. There`s tracks everywhere in coffs harbour , we started from west coffs harbour to Bellingen, a short day ride but so much fun.
Go for a drive–
Bucca Road- Nana Glen- Glenreagh- Sharwood Nature Reserve-Upper Corindi- Red Rock
This scenic drive was very beautiful, a lots of berry farm on bucca road ,we were looking for some farm work but season has not started yet!! Today, we just relax and enjoying the drive.
Glenreagh, a little country town with a giant dog- The Golden Dog, a 4m tall 6m long dog statue.
Nana Glen, where is home for actor Russell Crowe, anyway we don`t know where he is. But we heard this town has two tailed lizard?? Lilia was saying can we find a 2 tailed lizard? I say ..its not real!! that`s named of 2 rivers ( Because I read story but Lilia didn`t..)
History of Nana Glen, Named after the two tailed lizard by early aboriginals nana meaning two and because the Orara river and the Bucca creek meet at Nana Glen it resembles two tales where they fork……
but we really found one…… at the cafe.
We also visited numbers of Northern Beachs and Headland lookouts, such as Corindi Beach, Arrawarra Headland , Woolgoolga Headland , Emerald Beach Headland, Moonee Beach and Sapphire Beach.
Those beaches and headland lookouts were so beautiful , every beach have there own beauty and its people. Some of beach is good for surfing , some of beach is good for family picknic , some of beach is good for relaxing. Woolgoolga beach is a big town good for shopping, also have market every weekend, quite a busy town. We liked Emerald Beach the most- Look At Me Now Headland. It has got a good information board for people who come to visited. It also has a good walking track to the headland, most of people come here for Kangaroos. They are quite big Kangaroos but just set there relax not beg food at all, which was nice to see the nature animal should be.
Great thing was , every beach and headland we went we saw humpback whales, so lucky…
