Newcastle to Coffs Harbour : 27^th April 2010

This fishing boat off Port Stephens has plenty of bait to attract such a numerous assortment of sea birds!

Our first night at sea gives us a splendid sunset behind the Eastern Dividing Range

Entering Coffs Harbour past Mutton Bird island, where the birds nest in holes all over the hill

Gerry Bloomfield Brown, who helped her husband Chris look after Kanaloa for the 30 months we’ve been away works in Coffs Harbour teaches French to Private School students.  The bike is not only her only method of getting about, but also her main hobby!  She and Chris do lots of cycle racing together now.

The beach close to the marina, is very attractive in such a lovely sweeping bay.

Leaving Coffs Harbour early morning, with the moon just setting
