Getting a bit behind in my blogs, but that’s what happens when you’re having fun!

After visiting George, we headed to the Hunter Valley for an afternoon of wine, olive and cheese tasting and packed our fridge with the local produce.

Now remember how I said to remember the names Pete and Kia…well we spent the remainder of our time in NSW visiting their family and friends.

WALLABADAH

Hanging out with: Doug and Laurice – Pete’s parents,.

Again I hear you say “where?” It’s about 30mins south of Tamworth and where Pete grew up. For me it was a time to relax on the farm while Graeme helped Doug with a bit of feral pig control.   And one never goes hungry when visiting the McGilchrist farm! We also stopped in to say hi to Pete’s sister Nerida and family in Tamworth.

BYRON BAY

Hanging out with: Thomo and Frewie (real names Matt and Clare) – Pete and Kia’s friends from Uni.

One night in Byron to crash Matt and Clare’s holiday. They gave us many tips for our travels around Australia as they had done the same thing once up a time before children.

WOLLONGBAR

Hanging out with: Julie and Jakob – Kia’s parents.

Where: Between Byron Bay and Lismore.

We did some lovely coastal walks in the area and spotted some humpback whales breaching in the bay while dolphins were surfing the waves – simply beautiful.
