We moved to Royal Pacific Tourist Retreat on Friday, rather a grand name for a fairly modest park. Nothing flash about it but the area is great and we will soon have our expandava and a home for ar least 6 months as we have signed a lease to occupy the corner site (pictured) where our little van is parked.
Exploring the area, we have discovered that the river is a short walk from here. Steve is chuffed that oysters are on the rocks. He plans to get an oyster shucker. We visited the Birds Bay Oyster farm last Saturday and bought some Sydney Rock oysters ($16.00 a dozen). Today we noticed lovely fresh oysters ($13.00) at a beaut fish shop opposite the river. The shop also has a huge range of fresh prawns, crabs and various locally caught fish. Yes, I know, why not catch some ourselves! Steve plans to and is keeping an eye out for a little boat.
The local pub is situated opposite the river and a good spot to sit have a drink or meal and enjoy the view.
We are still doing the garage sale thing. Didn't pick up much today, just a plant and a boogie board in mint condition for the princley sum of $3.00.
We bid on a sofa on Ebay and were successful. Got a kick out of that, our first Ebay win.
The days are getting shorter here as winter approaches. After all those years in the tropics it's takes a bit of getting used to.
