Coffs Harbour, NSW

Sadly, we had to leave the relative warmth and sunny sky of Yamba and move a bit cloer to our final destination. So we moved 130k further down the coast to Coffs Harbour. Pretty slow going as the Pacific Highway is mostly under a continuous roadworks sign, but should be one hell of a road when its completed.

The weather, as predicted on BOM was starting to close in, windy, cold, a hint of rain. We didn't bother putting the awning out and its just as well as the strong gusts buffeted us all night. Drove down to the marina and watch a big fishing boat make it safely into harbour, then watched fascinated by the huge seas crashing over the southern breakwater. I snuck back at dawn with the camera to see if I could catch some of the atmosphere. These waves you can see in the photos, crash right up and over the wall, pretty spectacular. One of the pictures is taken straight on and although I was standing on a dry spot, its just a bit unnerving when you see your viewfinder completely filled with white foam right in front of you.

The sun came out, we ventured out and that's when I got the real snap of the day...
