We found one nice park in Yamba, right on the waterfront, however there weren't any sites available that were big enough for our van. We had a look at two other parks ... one wasn't very nice and a long way out of town and the other was $40 per night. We decided to head inland a bit and ended up at Grafton. I used my new iPhone 4S to check on some park rates in Grafton and found one offering $33 for the first night, $23 for the second and $13 for the third, but to get the deal we had to book on line. We did that when we were about 10mins away from the park and booked in for four nights. The park is the nicest we have stayed in so far. The gardens are beautiful, the sites have nice big concrete slabs and the amenities are almost new and extremely well appointed.
On Friday Rick kindly dropped me at the shopping centre to have a wander around while he went back to the park and washed the Navara. When he came to pick me up we went to a lovely old hotel and had lunch on the balcony overlooking the Clarence River. It was a pretty warm day so we headed back to the park and had a swim ... the water was cold but pleasant.
On Saturday Rick dropped me at the shops again for a while in the morning and in the afternoon we watched the car races and had another swim as it was another hot day. On Sunday morning, we returned to the old pub overlooking the Clarence River and had a really nice brunch. It was another hot day so we had a swim before lunch and then watched the car races. In the afternoon I caught up with washing the linen in preparation for moving on again the following morning.
