11th & 12th February 2012 .
Another beautiful place on the Macleay River. We met some lovely people here of which one couple was Les and Marge. Les used to be the milko for Springwood & Rochedale when we first moved there. It was a great laugh and many a wine was drunk.
More walks here around to Horseshoe Bay, the Smokey Cape lighthouse and the historic Trial Bay Gaol and lots of swimming, my shoulders are feeling so much better with the swimming, I need to do more of this when I get home.The Gaol was a very interesting place - The prisoners built the breakwater at Trial Bay & this prison was the first example of collaboriative management.This saw regular musicals performed for the locals & attempted escapes were very rare and the high security cells were never used to the true sense of the word.
The lighthouse reminded both of us of the Byron Bay Lighthouse. The caretaker cottages are now being used as B & B's.
