Tyre marks… an outline of a “heart” produced by elderly man on a ride on scooter! 
Darlington Beach
Sooo much space at this CP 👍
We finally get away for the next adventure 😊
A reasonably long drive but on a good road, 550kms. Left just before 7.30am; stopped for coffee; lunch at rest stop north of Kempsey; arriving at a CP at Arrawarra for 2 nights. The thunderstorm was beautiful to watch… at a distance
8th Adventure
Alan’s condition improves!
Kidney function has improved… miraculous! Alan is eating a little, wanting to go home AND wants to know what it’s costing to stay in hospital… that’s the Alan I know sooo well!
The windiest we’ve experienced so far… Kiama, of course! Pulled in the slide out and slept in a shortened bed.
Decided to return home
A break in between hospital visits
Morning walk south from caravan park
Happy birthday Mum
After another long day at the hospital we celebrated Mum’s birthday… unfortunately without Alan 😔
Alan’s condition deteriorates
Taken to hospital by ambulance where tests reveal kidney failure. Doctors estimate he will live only a short time… from a couple of days to 1-2 weeks. Palliative care will be implemented.
We have come down with caravan, set up at Easts Beach CP, to support Mum & Alan
Home
Arrived home midday. The trip… 17 days, 2,600kms… beach and N.S.W. countryside 😀
