DAY 14 - Coffs Harbour - Gold Coast

Lovely driving today! Maciek thinks it was boring but i thought it was ..well... nice. We packed up a very wet tent and left Coffs Harbour around a quarter past nine, heading for Byron Bay (for lunch stop and to visit the most Eastern point of Australia). Today everyone is back to their usually bubbly self, although bella did find out that when Maciek says he will pull over and get someone out of the car if they don't stop misbehaving he meant it, Bella has been an angel ever since. LOL. Don't worry we did not leave her behind.
One hour outside Coffs Harbour at Bellina (whilst on our usual hunt for Australian's Big Things) we came across the Big Prawn (a very derelict and run down big prawn, never the less)




Along the way we discovered a place (somewhere between Ballina and Byron Bay) called the Macadamia Castle; and so decided to head there for lunch instead. What an amazing place for kids. Shame we didn't have time to stop and explore more but you could spend hours there. Maciek and i indulged in pancakes with Macadamia nuts of course; whilst the kids ate the usual chips and Krystian had a hamburger (also with macadamia nuts inside the burger).

Bella the chip monster! 


My eyes were bigger than my belly!

After leaving the Macadamia castle, we headed for a quick look around Byron Bay. Really, we headed there to stand at the most eastern point of Australia. Maciek and I have now stood at the most southern and the most eastern and soon to be at the most norther point :-) 






After leaving Byron Bay we headed straight for the Gold Coast. Wasn't as far away as we expected. To be continued.......
