Ocean Side

Little Buddy
Today is our 6 year anniversary. We woke up to beautiful weather and started our day with a 30 minute run on the beach (along with kangaroos). We went on a few coastal walks after breakfast (2km and 5km called Hedlands walk). Every few minutes of the walk, the trees cleared up to some amazing views. You could see miles of coastline and endless beaches. We drove to Port MacQuarrie to check out some of their beaches. We also visited the Koala Hospital. Most of the koalas have been hit by cars and are in rehab to see if they are able to return to the wild. We read each of their stories and they were very cute. We would be amazed to actually see on in the wild. We kept driving up the coast to South West Rocks. We stayed at a popular campsite in Arakoon National Park called Trial Bay – our tent is literally 12 steps from the ocean – amazing. This place is also the site of a prison built in the 1870’s that we’ll probably check out tomorrow. We decided to open a bottle of red wine we had bought in the Hunter Valley for our special occasion.
