The travellers have packed up and travelled back northwards about 100km to Nabiac and are at their next location. The pack was slightly hampered by the dampness of the tent but no more than half an hour. It still took just under 3 hours to pack up. We had people arrive at 8 who bagsed our spot and chatted quite happily while we packed.
A possible lunch with Scott and Lou at Tea Gardens was cancelled due to more people succumbing to the stomach bug. I was feeling slow this morning but I am gradually improving. Unfortunately Susan is now sitting up on the bed with a bucket at the ready.
We went back to Tea Gardens so we could get caught in the traffic jam on the Pacific Highway caused by road works at Bulahdelah. Actually we went so Susan could take some pictures of the mosaics on the bbq. Unfortunately I think she forgot. The traffic jam stretched back around 25km I think. Once through the single lane restriction traffic moved well. Had we headed north from camp we would have joined the highway at Bulahdelah and maybe missed it all. No matter it is water under the bridge.

We found our new hosts Andrew and Annie on their 100 acre farm and have just about settled in. If we hadn't spent so long talking after tea we would have had more of our stuff put away. The weather is dry and sunny and the tent looks quite smart for a change. I hope to catch up on some maintenance items seeing as we are here for a month. I have already started sealing some scuff marks in the PVC floor with All Clear. The nearest retail centre is Taree roughly 40km up the road, which seems to have the required retailers to meet my needs.
night folks
cheers Simon
