We arrived on Sunday afternoon after a great trip through Sydney on the Freeways. It was a very painless experience and even with all the hills the car and van went well.
We Setup at Bay Caravan Park in Anna Bay, which at the moment seems to be in a quiet period. We did however spend a lightly sleepless night worrying about the awning and the wind that cropped up around 1am. When we woke in the morning the van was still intact ;)
Anyways, the plan for Port Stephens was for us to go on a Dolphin Watch Tour, and with the threat of bad weather we braved the sea on the Moonshadow Dolphin and Whale Cruise. We seemed to be in luck as the Captain found at leats 3 Pods whilst we were out and we got some great photos. Bianca and Caitlyn loved it with Caitlyn spending most of the time below deck watching the underwater camera's. They also got to ride a giant net in the sea, attached the the rear of the boat.
The last photo below is of a Stick Insect that was trying to have a shower with Sara. Caitlyn saved it from drowning and spent the morning playing with it before releasing it to a large gum tree near the van.
The rest of the afternoon was spent by the pool with a BBQ planned for the evening
We leave for Port Macquarie in the morning for an overnighter before continuing to Coffs Harbour.
