On the road


We are on the road.
After leaving home, we drove down to the Lennox Head village where we had a coffee at In the Pink with some of the men who make up the “Table of Knowledge”. We know that we will not have many coffees that will equal those made at In the Pink.
So we headed off up Ross Lane to join the Pacific Highway and travel to the north. We did stop several times for a quick check of the vehicles and a comfort stop. The days’ driving was very uneventful.
We arrived at Woodford, home of Splendour in the Grass that used to be at Byron Bay. On arrival we parked off the main street and went for a walk along the shops. On asking where we could have a nice lunch, we were told of the Story Brook Alfresco Café. If we had not asked we would never have found it as it is off the road a way.
The Story Brook Café is delightful and is in a magnificent garden setting. Beautiful trees of all types and sizes as well as numerous garden plants all located in beautifully laid out and manicured lawns. The food was very nice but the coffee was not anywhere near our standard.

Later on, we decided to see what the free camp site was like but decided to drive to Kilcoy for the night. Just after arriving at the Council overnight camp site another couple, from Mildura, pulled in beside us.
After setting up the Karavan, we wandered around the street seeing what is in the town of Kilcoy. Some items were purchased at the IGA store and we walked back to the site.
