Forster to the Gold Coast

We driveway camped with good friends at Forster for two nights (thanks Jock and Lorraine) and enjoyed a couple of beautiful days there. Walking, food and wine, coffee with other friends up at Wallabi Point... a good start to slowing down.  

We then made our way north and free camped beside a park at Ulmarra. After a walk around the town, we had some wine and cheese with a couple of other free campers who were on their way south. Fortunately we camped beside the bat laden trees, not under. 

Ulmarra is a small tiny town on the Clarence River near Grafton. Notable is the levee which runs along this entire stretch. Most of you will have driven beside this before the new Grafton bypass was built. 

Ulmarra is near Maclean, the town where Robyn's ancestors settled when they came to Australia in the 1800s. 

We found the Cameron of Lochiel tartan (pole #202 on the handy map guide!) 

We parked up at a friend's place at Tweed Heads (thanks Richard and Natalie) for a couple of nights which allowed us to say hello and goodbye to some family before moving on to...
