Port Macquarie
Had a relaxing sleep-in/wake up, then headed into town to Cafe 66 for brekkie. I had a ham and cheese croissant and Stu had Tuscan Toast. The food was yummy but the service was pretty crap.
After breakfast did a bit of a town wander, seeing places where Stu lived/went to school and other such Stu places.
Came back to the motel and had leftovers from yesterday's lunch and dinner and also a bit of a rest.
Then wandered down to Miner's beach. It was cloudy/rainy and threatened to be miserable, but there were tonnes of terns and their babies, a baby gannet, and when we went for a swim the water was actually really warm - warmer in than out! Left when it started pouring with rain heh.
So then we came back and freshened up before getting fish and chips and beer for dinner and watching some telly.
