We had planned to do the washing before going out for breakfast, but we hadn’t planned on the laundry being locked until 8am! By the time the washing cycle finished and I had hung up our clothes, it was after 9am when we walked to the Beechwood Cafe. This cafe has been a favourite for years, but it slipped down the favourite list today because it took so long to be served.
We walked around the shops but didn’t find much worth buying. It was more interesting walking to Turners Beach, beside the Clarence River breakwater. The sign said no dogs but I let Bluey have a quick run on the sand and around the rock pools.
We walked to the interesting rock formations at Clarence Head, but didn’t need to climb the rocks.
There is a protected cove on the river opposite the caravan park. Several boats are moored there.
We had dinner at the Italian on the Hill, the top rated Yamba restaurant. The building and table decorations are high quality, but the food was average and not up to the restaurant’s high rating.
Real estate prices in Yamba have skyrocketed with the influx of cashed up Sydneysiders. All cafes and restaurants need staff, but the cost of accommodation will be a challenge for young workers.
