Friday 5th December – Sunday 7th

We arrived at Kyogle today. The scenery it is really pretty around Kyolgle and the surrounding areas.

We are staying at David’s sister Andy’s. She is living in a granny flat out the back of a house. We parked our caravan up her driveway. We will be staying here for a few days

Once we arrived here we went straight to Andy’s shop. She spoilt the kids by letting them choose some toys from her shop.

Tonight we went to the bowling club for dinner with Andy.

On Saturday morning Andy had to work until lunchtime. Jesse and Emily went to work with her. They had such fun spending time with their aunty and getting spoilt in the shop. In the afternoon we all went for a drive to Nimbin.

Nimbin is a hippie town with the open buying, selling and consumption of locally grown cannabis on the streets and laneways. You can also be asked if you would like to buy a marijuana cookie. Jesse did not like Nimbin as he said it smelt funny. I wonder why!!

We also went to the Nimbin candle factory. The candles are made using the old age method of dipping each individual wick continuously to create a perfect candle.

We bought ourselves a few candles. If we were not travelling we would of bought ourselves more. The candles were just beautiful.

That night we had a beautiful cook up at Andy’s. Les who lives in the house in front of her granny flat and his friends organized it. They cooked roast pork, lamb, rabbit with some roast potatoes and pumpkins and veggies all in the camp ovens. It was really nice.
