Emerald Beach

It seemed a shame to leave Plumbago Beach this morning but we really needed to find a site with more amenities so we could catch up on some laundry and get a shower. The weather also seemed to be closing in a bit with some localised cloud cover coming in from the ocean.
We decide to head about 80km down the coast to a Big4 camp site at Emerald Beach, a site that gets good reviews on WikiCamps and has full facilities, even free WiFi !
The trip down the coast was OK as we headed down the Pacific Highway but there were quite a few stretches with road works that meant we had a few delays. Road works aside though it’s quite a nice road to drive along nice scenery along this stretch and not too busy.
Emerald Beach itself seems a nice enough place and the camp site is pretty good for it’s type. Pam got the laundry done and we both had showers and then we gave the local pizza place a try – very good it was too with proper wood fired pizza ovens.
After pizza we sat alongside the communal camp fire that the site management light each night and had a beer before retiring for the night.
Tomorrow we might head inland a bit after a quick visit to Coffs Harbour on the way.
We’ve started to plan our final nights and think about how we’re going to get the Land Rover ready for shipping again. Looks like we’ll be in Sydney in another week… Scary how quickly the last part of our trip is passing.
