We enjoyed two beautiful sunny days in Moss Vale and made a day trip to Kangaroo Valley a spectacular drive. On Wednesday morning we set off for the trip through the Sydney suburbs via the M7, the M2 and the famous Pennant Hills Road and settled in for the long drive into northern NSW. By mid afternoon we decided to pull up in Kempsey which is Slim Dusty's birthplace. We found a great campsite in the Kempsey showgrounds - a beautiful grassy site with power and water for $20 for the night. Then on Thursday we continued north with the plan of meeting with our friends Jim and Irene in Ballina and spending a few days here. The sunny weather has continued here and this morning we woke again to a beautiful sunny day. Went out for a fantastic breakfast here in Ballina and then took a coastal drive to Byron Bay. On previous visits we have always enjoyed visiting the local French patisserie and after a few anxious moments thinking it was no longer there we located it and had fantastic coffees and Cherry Almandines - yum.
One item on my bucket list for Byron Bay was to fly the Phantom 4 over the light house and the spectacular scenery at Cape Byron, so I quickly assembled my little airborne companion and had it flying high above some of the most spectacular scenery imaginable. The video footage looks amazing and I can't wait to get home to edit it. Got back to the caravan park after a very enjoyable day and sat in the fading sunlight enjoying a barbecue and a bottle of Pepperjack. More excitement planned for tomorrow - can't wait.
