Ten years have slipped by since we were here last, and the time before that was 16 years ago.
Nambucca heads is one of 'those' places people seem to rave about, and certainly the river mouth and heads area is very pleasant, but we haven't found anything else yet to rabbit on about. We went looking for the famous beaches and only found one: Shelly Beach (is there one in every coastal town?) which is just over the hill from the van park. There are others but we couldn't get to them due to the housing and the terrain, which is very steep everywhere. We found a carpark at what I think was Main Beach due to its having the Nambucca Heads Surf Lifesaving Club at one end, but the actual beach seemed to be around the headland. Odd.
We are staying in the same park as the last couple of times. It was called the White Albatross back then but is now an Ingenia Park. It's quite large and wraps around a lagoon and fronts onto the breakwater / boardwalk. The van park is quite pleasant, neat, tidy and at this time of the year, quiet.
The breakwater has a concrete path and on the seaward side, large boulders and concrete blocks pile up and it forms one arm of the 'V Wall'. These have become a magnet for people to paint the names of family and loved ones on.

The sun was just struggling up when I got to the end of the breakwater, and I couldn't help but take a snap of it coming up over the headland and Wellington Rocks.

For something a bit quirky, up in town at the bus stop, there is a mural made of shells and tiles and the like. Here's one of its objects, just for fun.
