Having discovered Crescent Head over Christmas we headed back there to start our adventure proper. We arrived late again - the "are we there yet" tally standing at eight. The first site we were directed to was on a slope under a pine tree, next to the amenities block. We looked around with dismay at the empty flat green fields around us. Kelly went off to request something better. Having secured our piece of flat, green grass we drove around the block to park. After many forward and backward moves, always communicated between driver and director in a friendly and polite manner ;), we detached the car. Then we looked around. Wait a minute, if someone parks behind us, how are we going to get the car to hitch up to the van to get out of here? Drove in the wrong way :{ We are sure we provided great entertainment for the - shall we say - ''more experienced'' fellow campers around us. We also noticed that the cover over the van's power inlet had ripped off. Not so good when it is raining! Chalk that one down to experience. At least we didn't smash up the boom gate like the guy that came in after us...
Next morning we remembered why we were doing this when we woke to the sound of crashing surf and glorious sunshine.
Rich went out for a surf and was very pleased with several 150m long 2-3 ft right-handers. Kel and the kids had breakfast at the picnic chairs next to the beach. We saw dolphins in the distance and watched an Osprey catch a fish for breakfast.
School went down like a tonne of lead bricks. After battling through some stuff, books were exchanged for skateboards, the park and walks up the headland. We loved it so much we stayed an extra night.
