Monday the 9th of November 2020 – Bonny Hills, New South Wales

We’ve been in Bonny Hills the last few days and other than the weather been a bit cooler than we would like its been a very enjoyable place to stay. We are about 30 k’s south of Port Macquarie, with our van park right on the beach, over looking Spooney’s Bay beach.

We’ve caught up with Mark & Lorraine Monkley who have a unit at North haven, which is 6 k’s south of Bonny Hills. This area is were Mark grew up so he has been showing us around all his old haunts, its been very interesting, always good to have a guide when your someplace new.

Mark’s a keen fisherman and if we had a few more days here I’m sure he and Susan would have been fishing. The area seems to be a fisher person’s Mecca, no doubt we will get the chance to come back sometime and Susan can try here luck.

We’re heading down to Newcastle tomorrow, actually pulling the van into Mark and Lorraine’s place for a couple of days before we head inland to Dubbo. Hoping to do the ANZAC walk along the coast, which will be appropriate with Remembrance Day on Wednesday.
