Northern New South Wales

So after a bunch of big cat diary entries, on to more of the trip.
After the day at Dreamworld, we stayed down at Kingscliffe. Nice part of the world. Great beaches & it hasn't been used & abused like the Gotham City (Surfer's Paradise). We stayed in a nice hotel (Mantra on Salt) for a discount rate. Nice place.
The next morning we had breakfast with Kerri's Auntie Susan. It was the second time I had met her, having spent time at the Art Gallery a couple of days previous. After that we took the coast road down as far as Cabarita then headed to Susan's place. One of those catch up with relative things that we seem to have done lots of recently.
After a bit of a catch up session, we headed up the valley into the Border Ranges. Really pretty part of the world. Lush & green, and interesting. (I guess you miss that kind of thing living in Perth for a while).
We were in Brisbane just in time to have dinner with friends of mine that I hadn't seen for a year & a half. Caught up with a bunch of others on Thursday night at a pizza shop in Park rd Milton (delicious & cheap!) & a few more at the Royal Exchange Hotel in Toowong.
