It was another warm sunny day after a cool start. Anita put through two loads of washing, forgetting to move the drain hose. I returned from a coffee run to find lots of water around our van. Fortunately it drained away into the sandy soil. My contribution was hanging the washing in the sun and turning it a couple of times to make sure it all dried in the absence of any breeze.
We have both come down with colds, testing negative to covid. We had planned lunch with our friends, but cancelled to make sure we didn’t share any germs. Instead we ate takeaway orange roughy and chips sitting beside the Myall River at Tea Gardens. Blue had not been keen on fish until he tasted orange roughy, eating his share of our fish and chips.
We were near the Singing Bridge which connects Tea Gardens and Hawks Nest. The pelicans were hoping for scraps from the man cleaning fish. Several jetties provide resting places for pelicans, seagulls and shags.
Jimmy’s Beach is on the Myall River close to the mouth where it flows into the Pacific Ocean. It is generally clean and quiet with no waves. Unfortunately dogs are not allowed on the beach, but are permitted in the caravan park.
Ironically dingoes roam freely on Jimmy’s Beach and around the caravan park. I spotted a male dingo wearing a tracking collar. He was only 50m from our caravan, but we are being very careful with Blue and Tilly.
