After tea and toast for breakfast we packed up and left Jimmy’s Beach. Our reasonable coffees were from 2 Fat Bakers. A group of tradies came into the bakery with their traditional orders of pies, sausage rolls and cream buns.
There is a convenient dump site at the Lions Lookout on Myall Way just outside Tea Gardens – providing possibly one of the best views from a dump site!
Our friends had enjoyed water views from their campsite at Stockton Beach until we arrived, as our Bushtracker had been allocated the prime position. The distant sand dunes are north east of our site, looking towards Anna Bay.
We soon saw a coal carrier guided by tug boats pass through the Newcastle Breakwater, heading up the Hunter River to the wharf.
I had Blue and Tilly out on their leads attracting the attention of a toddler. Tilly soon put herself on the tray under the pram.
I watched a Facebook video where a Tilly lookalike climbed onto the railing of an apartment verandah, too high for a safe landing if she fell. The cat wanted to say hello to her neighbour.
The real Tilly enjoyed some free time in the Toyota. I left the windows down a little so she got fresh air while enjoying the view from the top of the critters’ crate.
Bluey had a long walk around the caravan park, and a run on the sand next to the Breakwater. It looks like new reddish-pink sandstone rocks have been placed on the Breakwater. There has been further erosion of the other side of the Breakwater where this couple was walking on the beach.
Blue and Tilly were both tired after their busy day, resting together in their crate while Anita cooked dinner.
