We awoke to another clear, sunny day. Paul made coffee in our room while we watched the news and wortked on the computer. We then had breakfast outside at a smalll cafe at 5 Church St. around the corner from the Federal Hotel.
After that we walked around this small town looking in windows and asking for a button store. (Will keep on looking.) We found a pharmacy where the chemist helped me find a most wonoderful type of band-aide for the small blister I had develped on my heel. Wonderful, because not only has this bandage stayed on my heel, it has medication to help heel my wound.
Heading northwest to Dorrigo. Green, Hilly. Large herds of dairy cattle. More green. Many steep curves and more green. We passed through Dorrigo to the S__ Falls and hiked down the bottom of the gorge. Returning through Dorrigo, we stopped at the Dorrigo National Park, a rainforest. There is a skywalk viewing platform. We viewed a excellent film about the interconnectedness of all the creatures.
Birds and bird-songs have been surrounding us at every stop. There are so many different and unusual bird-calls and, of course, more than ever in the rainforest.
We retraced our route down the mountain, passing waterfalls and with views not yet seen as we went up. Back through Belllingen and back to Hwy. 1 to head further north.
Next town on the coast was Sawtell - with a sign: "Aged Pedestrians." (This was worth a photo, so sorry that I haven't managed to upload any.)
We continued on to Coffs Harbour and more spectacular beaches. The highway then turns inland through Grafton and on to Yamba. Along the highway were heard after heard of cattle. Mostly beef. Huge bulls and lots of green grazing.
Did you hear the herds? Were they making any moo sounds?
