Hi Folks,
Packing up day was a pretty slow affair today considering we did not have much to pack. We said our goodbyes to Corey who headed off to work and Kevin who set off to fulfill some RFS duties at a burnoff. We did a vacuum/clean loaded our things into the car and camper and were on the road by 1100.
Up the road was only 14kms according to the GPS, this must be our shortest ever journey between destinations. Filling in time we went into Coffs Harbour for some sushi for lunch then onto Bundagen Community which was established in the 1980's and our host Shuynama has lived here since the early days. Her property is about a 1/2 hectare, with many fruit trees, large veggie garden, and lily filled pond. We were shown to the cabin. Luxury another real bed!
All the properties here are off the grid and no mains water so we had the composting toilet explained. The jobs list was also discussed and we had a cup of Chai and ginger tea, delicious, and settled in.
I took a walk down to the beach about 500 metres, and managed to get "lost" coming back. There looks to be a number of tracks ready to explore. The surf was pretty wild with many partly submerged rocks, so swimming could be a bit dangerous, ohh it is apparently a nudist beach, if one is that way inclined, thankfully all today's beach goers were clothed, so I did not feel out of place.
Shuynama made roast lamb and roast veggies for dinner, and we had a getting to know chat until bedtime about 9:30.
We have landed on our feet yet again, we feel at home already. Looking forward to another interesting helpx experience.
Cheers
Susan
