We're still in Laurieton/Camden Haven. The wind has been very strong and from the wrong quarter to continue up the coast. We've now decided to return to Sydney at the first opportunity. That looks like Thursday morning at the earliest. So today we rented a car to see a bit more of the region.
Behind Laurieton is North Brother, a mountain which rises steeply from the coast. The above picture was taken from a lookout near its peak. It is one of the most breathtaking coastal views I have seen. Near the top of the picture you can see the waves breaking over the bar near the entrance to Camden Haven. Te Moana can be seen near the bottom, moored alongside the jetty at the RSL club.
Marius--great job!
