Day 277 (Tue 10 Apr) - Woolgoolga

Up early and headed off to Coffs Harbour.

Absolutely beautiful day as we headed out past the harbour and onto a jutting headland, Malton Bird island. The views back along the coast were excellent.

Decided to drive onto Woolgoolga, that is called Whoopi by the locals.

Found an excellent camp site right that was literally on the beach!

Relaxed for a while then got our clothes washing done. Sat on the beach for a while then went exploring the small town.

Wandered over the incredibly ornate Sikh temple. Quite odd seeing such an Eastern looking building after so long.

Headed back to the beach where we chilled out watching the sunset ( [1], [2] ). Decided that since we were amongst a large Sikh community we should go out for a curry. Found a huge restaurant opposite the temple that apart from another couple was empty.

Ordered our meals from the surly waiter and settled expectantly. Unfortunately the food was awful. Jo reckoned that the sauce probably came from a packet. If this is what the locals call a curry then they are being seriously short changed. You really have to question the restaurant for putting out such 'authentic Indian food'.

Walked back disappointed back to our van and settled in for a good nights kip.
