Finding our new life

When we chose to take our life on the road, there was an acceptance that sometimes it would not be quite how you imagined it,  and that we would just deal with it. We had just deal with it on first night in the camper, rolling in to Treachery Camp and the rain hosing down and just getting heavier. I will admit there was a request for a cabin from the back of the car, unfortunately none available so flick the switch to just get on with it mode.
In Gore Tex Shells we set out to set up, whilst kids tapped at iPads in warm dry comfort from the back of the 4WD. Thankfully the camper was soon taking shape of the home we will spend the rest of the year in. The rain eased, the stars came out and we started to come to grips with 'this is our life".
Waking up to clear skies and a relaxed start, I got some clean waves with my new found Dolphin friends.
A day in the sun and surf at Seal Rocks felt very different to our usual day at the beach - there was no pressure to get home and do something or be somewhere. This is what we were doing for the day, and it was a good day.

Driving North to Port Macquarie for a few extras to add to the kit (Auto electrical fuses and a broom and dustpan - both very important and overlooked in the rush to get away from Sydney).

So the bloke operating the ferry across the Hastings River  said "yeah, she a bit rough on that track", we love understatement.!
A few ruts, corrugations, puddles, big puddles, really big puddles......
I think the girls really started paying attention when the muddy water came half way up the windscreen on one particularly deep water crossing.
Made it through without missing a beat.
Point Plomer is one of my favourite spots, but the backtrack is not what it used to be!
