So where are we now? Well we drove for one hour up the Pacific Highway towards Newcastle and decided to stop here on our way to Corindi which is where our friends Jeff and Linzi have a house. Once in Newcastle we called Martin and Michelle (regular blog followers will remember these as the lovely Aussie family we met in Gisbourne) anyway we called to see if they would be up for a surf at the weekend. Michelle invited us over, that was Thursday evening and we have been here ever since (today is Saturday).
They live at Marks Point which is a beautiful place on the lake, surrounded by the ocean and we have surfed, canoed (not sure if that's how you spell it) Sam has played on the playstation, jumped of the pier, played tennis, skateboarded and currently Will is out sailing with Martin. It has been amazing - we have eaten well, drunk well and are really being looked after. They also have a little cottage nearby which looks over the lake and is just gorgeous inside and they have offered to let us stay there Sun, Mon and Tues nights. It seems like the Australian people are just as wonderful and welcoming as the New Zealanders... awesome.
Today we went to Moons beach which is a secluded surfing spot along the coast and Sam and Will surfed with the boys whilst Michelle and myself sat on the beach and chatted, perfect... now I have had a little too much sun and am going to veg on the veranda overlooking the lake... it's a tough life I know.
Love to you all.
