Winter 2017 we went up one of the many hills at Coffs Harbour in New South wales to take a few photos. More beautiful beaches.
The weather was warm at 30 deg C and above whilst we were there, warmer than the year before.
Both the above and below photos are of Sawtell just below Coffs Harbour.
Plenty of sand galloping space on those beaches. I did a racing check and that area of the NSW coastline has race tracks galore so horse racing every weekend.
Way back in the early 60's, my family had a beach house at Sawtell. Unfortunately I was at that time in the "wilds" of PNG doing my colonial duties(??) so I never even got to enter the front door! It really is a great holiday area........plenty to do on the beach area and up in the hinterland. Cheers Colin
Oh did they have a beach house there, I expect the houses are homes now and worth a lot of money - so many beach places started off with shacks. Pity you never got a chance to go through the door.
I like the look of the main street with the huge trees. The beach is gorgeous of course. Do they have sharks and jellyfish there? Stingers and blue ring octopus?
Lovely shady area there in the main street of Sawtell. I should imagine there would be a chance to have those sea creatures there in the summer months.
No pictures of you sitting on the beach? Wazamatta with you?
ReplyDeleteNo pictures of me on the beach, none were taken :)
DeleteTerrific Photos over more amazing coastline!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful coastline there and in other places too.
DeleteThirty degrees is already getting too hot!
ReplyDelete30 degC is just lovely if in the shade - but for winter, wow :)
DeleteWhen I was young I used to ride a horse along the beach during our holidays. I remember how much the horses loved it.
ReplyDeleteThey seem to Rosemary, good for their legs and all muscles.
