Sorry about the recent radio silence. You know it’s ’cause of school holidays…and nothing beats a road trip heading north to the warmer weather. I’ll confess – I’ve driven past the Port Macquarie turn-off on the A1 highway (many times) in a hurry to get to North-North-Bondi (Aka Byron Bay). I never knew Port Macquarie […]

I’ve also spent around 3 hours in the car driving around, stalking rideable swells, but really…it’s not on – too windy. A couple of mates surfed a bombie out […]
Bathe
