And so it came time for Eelco to go back to Europe, and we left Bellingen on Friday 26th March, taking stops for photos all the way…….and resting at Susanne Grace’s farm north west of Kyogle for the night.

Yep, the Angourie weekend was the tipping point…………after months of research and hesitation, I finally bought a professional camera again – not telling how much I spent – but it would make any pro photographer REAL JEALOUS (and photographically minded friends!!!) hehehe… When I first held it in my hand I knew I had done…

Read MoreAngourie
Wow – I never appreciated it when we went on holidays as kids and stayed in a little fibro shack at Angourie, south of Yamba. I am amazed at how beautiful the beaches are, and it has grown up in 25 years too – the fibro shack is gone – I did look for it,…
