Yamba sits where the Clarence River meets the Pacific Ocean
The rolling white surf of the ocean
Crashing into the salt water pool at high tide
These pools are such iconic scenes of beaches on the norther NSW coast
Where you can swim in the ocean water that in Spring is a warm 22c
Looking back to land from the waters edge
The white sand and the matching cream coloured Surf Lifesaving Pavilion lead your eyes to the Pacific hotel
The perfect place for a cold beer and a meal on a summers day.
The smooth water of the moorings in the Clarence River are such a contrast to the pounding white surf of the ocean just the other side of the headland
and looking west of the Clarence river
The sunset is breathtaking
On the way to Yamba from Coffs Harbour there is one of my favourite camping spots.
It’s in the Yuraygir National Park the Illaroo campground.
I had first visited this place with a dear friend.
There was a big thunder storm due
So I pitched my tent and shelter in behind the sand dune and its scrub
and walked down to the beach to await natures lightshow
I wish I had the skills crashes of thunder and the forks and sheets of lightning that filled the sky that night.
I’m definitely living vicariously through your posts!
Im glad you enjoy them. I was so lucky to get away on the road before Christmas here.
