Yamba - 22.01.2013 to 25.01.2013

Yamba is a gorgeous little coastal town with the entrance to the Clarence River on one side. The coastline here is really pretty with absolute golden beaches, good temperature of about 30 every day and the water warm enough to just jump in. Taking a drive south of Yamba we came across a little town by the name of Broom Head and what a beautiful little spot to come for a week or six. Families aplenty enjoying this spot with the beach on their caravan or tent doorstep. Going for a walk up to the hill, the view was amazing, pelicans coming in to get a feed from the fishermen, sun shining, waves rolling in, rock pools all around. We couldn't resist having a swim here and ended up staying in for quite awhile, resulting in a bit of sunburn unfortunately. Having some lunch we headed off for Sandon, which happened to turn out to be another fabulous spot. Camping area had quite a few of campers there and you could see why because the secluded beach was a treat. We went for a walk up top a hill, just around from the beach, where we happened to sight an eagle settling on the rocks looking for some food and a great view from up top. It proved to be hard work in the sun so a dip in the ocean was called for. Yes another tough day in the lives of Murph and Crowey.
