XMas @ Coffs Harbour

Mommy and Daddy took the little ones out for an outing to Coffs Harbour over the XMas break and to esccape the summer heat with Uncle Alex and his family. Coffs Harbour is a sea side resort located in northern New South Wales about 4 hours drive from the Gold Coast through picturesque rolling hills, farmsteads, forests and sea coasts.

Daddy and little Jarien utterly exhausted after the 4 hour drive.
Taking a siesta on the garden deck chair.

Little Jerral is still super energetic though and riding around the garden in his tricycle. The fantastic ocean view that lured Daddy to sleep in the deck chair can be seen in the background.

This pic was taken at a place called Lake Russell Gallery which is a local art gallery. Daddy and Jerral are more interested in the very scenic little lake at the back of the gallery though.

.... and even Daddy has a go at this ice skating lark.

Little Jarien enjoying his own private spa ... in the ensuite sink .....

The next few photos are taken to show the incredibly spectacular views of the Pacific Ocean from the top of a cliff at the Arrawarra Headlands about 5 minutes walk from the BB Guesthouse that Mommy booked for this trip. It is a real pity that the photos failed to do full justice to the magnificent view on offer.
