Destination Port Macquarie - a veiw from Moorea

Accidentally visited Moorea, took so long to get diesel we figured we'd arrive in Bora Bora in the dark. So we stopped at Cooks bay Moorea.

Cooks Bay Moorea

In Papeete Christian received a parcel from home, laptop diving stuff etc. Also is parents enclosed thoughtful gifts (inc vegimite). Also included was royal Auto magazine. The magazine of the RACV. Thats the Auzzie RAC. A quality publication on a par with an in-flight magazine. The reason for this inclusion with Easter eggs, vegimate and stuff is that Jackie, who's Austrialinainity is Al's reason for going to the beer and kangaroo continent is a resident of Port Macquarie, New South Wales. The magazine contains an article.

Let me tell you about Port Macquarie. Its got Australia's best climate, according to CSIRO - whatever the hell that is. its Gum trees are home to one of Australia's largest koala populations. Wich means its also home to the only NSW Koala hospital "Australia's cuddliest marsupial". Other unmissable include. "WALK Don't leave town without stepping out along the two hour beach-to-beach walk" Convict ruins etc. Apparently the north coast is an "anglers paradise".

Now for the cyinic in me....

Ok this sounds like Eastbourne - referred to by most Brightonian's as 'God's Waiting Room' due to the average age of its inhabitance requiring 3 digits, it usually has England's best sunshine records, is equivalently conveniently located "4 hours from Sidney", on in this case London, has a zoo at drusillas etc. etc. etc. Ok I'm gonna get killed by the Sarno family better stop now......
