More Beaches...Coffs to Brunswick Heads

 

  We were on the road early today. Our first stop was a great breakfast on the patio at Bluebottles in the town of Woolgoolga. Thank you, Laura B for the recommendation! We drove a few miles to the Yarrawarra Aboriginal Cultural Center to learn about First Nations people from the area. It is also an art gallery (no photos allowed) and we would have been happy to take any painting home with us.

    We motored on to the little beach town of Red Rock where my brother and his family holidayed when the kids were younger. Jerry's in-laws, Bob and Marion, built a home there back in the 80s. What a great place for family fun! Situated on the banks of the Corindi River within easy distance to the ocean beach, you have the best of all worlds. Boating, fishing, swimming, kayaking, hiking....great for kids! We did a short hike through the bush before heading up to the trendy town of Byron Bay.

     Byron has a great beach and LOTS of people, so after a seafood linguini lunch and a beach walk, we headed to the much quieter Brunswick Heads where we will stay for four nights.

Distance: 188.3 miles. Drivetime: 3.5 hours
