Days 6, 7, 8 and 9

Hello again,

We have had a few lazy days at Uralla. We had a couple of days when Gae had to go to Armidale so I went along with her, but other than that just relaxed at home.
Here are some more photos at the farm.

Peter remembering being back on his family farm -


You can see how dry it is here-




Thankfully they have had a bit of rain since we have been there, and there is a tinge of green appearing on the ground.
Tuesday-
This morning we left Uralla and travelled to Port Macquarie via Walcha and Wauchope.







There are a number of farmers using the "long paddock" with no feed left in their paddocks. We came across a few mobs on our way to Walcha.









Heading towards Port Macquarie the scenery changed from flat open plains to rolling hills to steep mountains. There was quite a bit of fog on the mountains as we descended towards the coast and it the grass got much greener. There was 75km of winding roads, with many of the corners with a recommended speed of 25 and 35 kms per hour.








We arrived at Port Macquarie mid afternoon and it was very hot and humid. Storms were forecast but didn't eventuate. We will do some touristy things around the area tomorrow, so till next time,

Cheerio and love from Lesley and Peter.
