G’day all,
Heading South today from the “Shed.” Our plan was to look for some coastal bush camping area around Evans Head or Iluka (Woody Point).
Our first stop was Evans Head. It was a similar place to Brunswick Heads and equally as busy with school holidays still rampant. At Evans Head we had a picnic near the coastal river heads and the skate park. The kids had fun playing on their skooters whilst we had lunch. After lunch we explored the small town and then headed over the river and up, up, up to the lookout above the town on the South side of the river. The lookout is spectacular and worth a visit. The river itself a great place for a swim, some fishing or a boat ride. Try and visit outside school holidays or book early.
Next stop Woody Point just outside Iluka. Woody Point is a camping area in the National Park near a sheltered bay on the ocean. The bay is further sheltered by reef structure and is a great place for kids to swim and play in the ocean. The only problem here is the very cramped camping space and the fact that it is booked during school holidays twelve months in advance. Again try and visit outside school holidays and I bet you will have a remarkable time at this spot.
Well the search for campsots came up short and we headed back to Alstonville through Wardell (the scenic way) back to camp.
A great day exploring some regional areas and we will be back…when school hoildays finish
