Brisbane to Port Macquarie & Back Again
We left home on the 5th December 2020 and drove to Kingaroy. My sister-in-law was celebrating her 70th birthday, and we had an absolutely lovely day catching up with the family. It was a great start to our trip.
From there we went to Hervey Bay for a few days before travelling further north to Burnett Heads, and that’s when the rain began. After a week at Burnett Heads, we were starting to get a bit soggy, and hoped to leave the rain behind us as we began to mosey towards NSW.
The day after we drove out of Queensland into NSW, we discovered that the border had once more slammed shut behind us. Luckily, one of the benefits of being retired is that you have no time constraints, so, we decided to keep to our plan, which was to go to Port Macquarie and have Christmas with mum, my brother, and his fiancé and of course, Hugo.
Our plan to leave the rain behind was short lived as It rained for the entire trip, on top of that, it was bloody cold, but we arrived at Port Mac safe and sound on the 21st December and made our home at Flynn’s Beach caravan park, (Link TBA). We had a wonderful Christmas and a great catch up with mum, even though the weather didn’t allow us to do much, we had some quality catch up time.
It was sad to say goodbye to mum when we left on the 4th January, but even though I know she will miss us, I think she was ready to get back to her normal routine without having to worry about anyone else. As we were packing to leave, we realised that we had gone from soggy to really, really wet. Surely, it had to stop raining soon.
