As we approached the beach.
We could look back and see how far we’d come.
We watched the river’s last run to the sea.
Before heading back to shore.

Urunga – Part 2
Let’s start our board walk.
First, we crossed the sandbar.
Where there were birds of all types.
Then on to the break wall, with a lovely view upstream all the way back to the hills.
Where we got close up to a hunter.
And its prey.
Urunga – Part 1
We are exploring another seaside place – Urunga, some 30km south of Coffs Harbour. A great feature of the town is its boardwalk, which runs for 1km over the lagoon from the town to its ocean beach. It was originally built in 1908, restored in 1988, and extended to its current length in 2010.
It follows the Kalang and Bellinger Rivers as it winds past mangroves…
And sandbanks.
The photos I took haven’t done it justice – it’s a gem.
Floral Interlude
The next day we headed back to the coast to the town of Urunga, just a few k’s away from Mylestom. But before we start exploring, how about a little floral interlude. We found this bottlebrush right by the estuary. It must be a real salt-loving variety.
