Wednesday the 4th of November 2020 – Sawtell, New South Wales

Yamba to Sawtell today which is about 15 k’s south of Coffs Harbour. We stopped off at Ulmarra (just north of Grafton) for some antique shopping during the morning and then for lunch its was Woolgoolga which is about 30 k’s north of Coffs.

It was a beautiful sunny day, unfortunately wet weather is forecasted from Thursday afternoon for a few days. We were hoping for nice warm weather as we come down the coast but it looks like that’s not going to happen in the short term. Probably have to wait top we go inland to Dubbo in a week’s time to get back to the high 20’s or low 30’s.

Sawtell is a lovely town, you could nearly call it a suburb of Coffs Harbour. The Main Street is a delight with some good cafe’s and the RSL looks very impressive, it would be a good place to escape the cold Melbourne winter months. Plus it has a very good golf course so we might lock Sawtell away in the memory bank .

I’m off to play golf Thursday morning and Friday we’re into the “big smoke” going to Coffs Harbour for the day.

Sawtell’ s Main Street, a beautiful treed boulevard.
The Clarence River at Ulmarra, which was NSW’s largest River Port in the 1860’s.
Woolgoolga Beach. A lot of school kids out swimming, whilst it was nice and sunny and the water looked inviting in was only 23 when we stopped for lunch, too cool for me to swim!
Sawtell Beach. Sawtell has two main beaches, this and Bonville, which is just around the headland and is were the surfaces hang out.
Bonville Surf beach, our caravan park is right of picture amongst the trees.
Having a rest in the Main Street.
