Made it to our new destination - Hastings Point.

Howdy Everyone!

Well, it's been a few busy days now, but we are having a great time and soaking up all the sun we can get! Travelling today from Coffs to Hastings Point we even used the aircon in the car!

So, since we last blogged! Our Mattress isn't that much better with the underlay, but we are managing! The kids are all sleeping well and Trent has put a little board(which there was a trip to Bunning's for!) up along Flick's bunk bed at the bottom and now I can sleep easier knowing she won't fall out! Speaking of Flick and falling out - she took a tumble yesterday out of the caravan door onto the ground outside, but with only a little scratch and a bit of a shock to her system, she's all good.
At a request from Pheobe, we took another trip to the Big Bannana. Pheobe was very keen to have another go on the toboggan ride. They all (meaning Trent, Pheobe, Maurice and Felicity) all had a go. It made Pheobe's day!!!! It was the Coff's Cup day (horse racing) on Thursday and we went into the main street and had lunch in an open cafe where there were farmers markets going on because of the cup day. It was rather strange when we first got into town and saw people all dressed up. It wasn't until we had our visit to Bunnings that we found out what was going on - Bunnings doesn't close for the cup!!!
On our journey into Coffs one day we also took a drive into all the little beach towns - some were really lovely, some you could pass on. We did come across a house that was for sale right on the beach, we will buy it when we win the lotto and you can all come for a holiday!! The outlook at Woolgoolga was rather nice, you could see for miles and back along all the little beach towns we had visited and even the beach where we were staying at Darlington Beach Holiday Park.
Friday, we spent the day getting the kids to help us with the washing, there was a few loads to do! The kids also had lots of fun feeding the roo's that came for breakfast! Flick has so much go in her, not scared at all. Even whacked one across the nose and laughed when she done it. The roo's were great with her - still came back for more! We had dinner at the cafe where we were staying and the kids also did an activity arranged by the park - some plaster painting.

Today we have made a journey to Hastings Point. One of the reasons we came here is because there was according to the Internet, a water park. We have arrived and it's still being constructed! Shame, but there is still lots to do. Already, Trent, Pheobe and Maurice have had hair cuts at the day spa! Tomorrow the Pheobe and Maurice are wanting to be booked into the kids club to do a few more acivities - should be lots of fun! There is a pool to swim in and spa's! There is a Tennis Court, not that I think we will be using that much. There is another activities room with pool tables, table tennis, pin ball machines and other video game machines. We have an en suite site, so we are very comfy!
On our way here today we drove through many places. We stopped for morning tea at Yamba and Lunch at Ballina. Went through Byron Bay, but we will take a day trip back there for a look while we are here. It was very interesting to drive through the town - lots of people, people selling clothes and other things right outside their front doors! People playing music in the street and of course the dancers! Looking forward to going back there and checking it out!
Anyway, that's about all the news we have for now. Happy Birthday to Kylie for today, and Uncle Philip and Will Hardiman for yesterday! We hope you all have had great birthdays and know that we have been thinking of you all. Especially Will, who is in Broome with his family on their 3 month adventure!
Take care everyone, and I'll get some pic's up again soon.
Cheers,
TKPMF - aka - The Guye Gang!
