To the Beach House at Laurieton

Sunday morning, we got up at 7:00 and headed to the beach house owned by Kate's family.  It was supposed to be a three hour trip but with all of the stops we finally made it in 6.  The weather was spectacular, the scenery was unbelievable.  We stopped for gas in the little town of Walcha.  It is a beautiful, tidy, little town.  All of the yards were very well kept.  

The next place we stopped was to see a waterfall, now that there has been so much rain the water was really roaring down.  It was pretty spectacular to see.  We wandered around for a bit, walked down to all of the view points.

Next we stopped at a little place called Ginger's for coffee.  Just a small little place with a few tables, good food and a great place to take a break.  The road is quite winding so the driver can get quite tired after awhile, especially keeping a running commentary as she is driving along.

We finally made it to the beach house.  No beach house like I have ever seen.  Very large, bigger than our house and the view from it is spectacular.  However, withing 1/2 hour of our arrival, we have a storm.  This time thunder and lightening.  I said we should hire ourselves out during the dry season.  We have been here about 1 1/2 hours now and the sun is shining again.  What can I say, this is a great country.
