Port Macquarrie

When we were down here in 2001, Port Macquarrie was my favorite place, the weather was perfect year round, low of 70 and high of 80.  It had a lovely downtown section, tile and brick streets and the caravan court was beautiful.  Well, things have changed...the caravan court is still lovely, it's called the Sundowner Breakwall Tourist Park, it is big, well kept and in a fabulous location.  We had to wear jackets and long pants one day and we had to put an extra blanket on the bed at night.  Our first day and night was lovely, just like we remembered, next day it was windy and we had to put on more clothes.  We wanted to be wearing our shorts until we left for Tasmania again, winter is setting in in New South Wales.

We also found out that Port Macquarrie is one of the fastest growing cities in Australia, no longer the sleepy little place we knew and loved, it has a large industrial area, still some lovely areas but it didn't make us want to live there like we wanted to in 2001.

We didn't even take any pictures when we were there and Dalton was upset because we had horrible internet service and his cell phone wouldn't work either.  I guess we can strike this one off our list.
