Discovering the Tweed

We had a great day discovering the Tweed.
Annie and I checked out a few garage sales, made easy with the Tom Tom, and bought a few bits and pieces.
The Tweed area is really great. Similar to the Gold Coast in that it gives off an air of prosperity and has a nice feel about it.
The river is big with lovely backwaters, can't wait to get a small boat and go discovering.
Annie and I had lunch at Twin Towns Club Benora - at Benora  Point - in the backwater.  
As a rule clubs don't do much for me, but this one is pretty good, not the usual drab club but more in the style of an up market resort.
We had lunch there an then a puff on the balcony where I took the photos of their beautiful golf course. We can't wait for someone to visit us so we can have a game of golf.
Chinderah would be just over the hill behind the golf course so we're pretty close to the action.
On the way home we bought a dozen Sydney Rock Oysters grown in the Tweed, at a farm we discovered on the way down.
On the whole we think the Tweed will be a good place to hang out. Good shopping, good locale, GOOD LIFE.
