Sun, 27th Nov - North Haven

The sun finally came out on Sunday morning and it became really hot and steamy.  We packed up the van and headed about 80kms to a pretty little place on the coast called North Haven, passing through Port Macquarie along the way.  Port Macquarie is a large and very busy place so we didn't stop as it was too hard to find somewhere to park.

We were a bit concerned as we left Trial Bay that we might not be able to get very far due to all the rain.  We had been advised that the road had been cut by floodwaters near Kempsey to the north and we were travelling next to a very swollen river all the way back out to the highway.  We needn't have worried as it happened, but we weren't keen on spending another three days trapped in Trial Bay. By the time we arrived at North Haven it was really hot again, so we set up the van and headed down to the pretty beach area for a swim to cool off.   

We passed through several pretty little places such as Lake Cathie and Bonney Hills along the coast before arriving at North Haven.
