Day 2: Tamworth – Coffs Harbour

Woke up quite early this morning. Drove into Tamworth CBD but shops weren’t open yet. So drove to the Golden Guitar and took a few pictures then went on for a drive around the out skirt of town.

Tamworth is not really a very big town and not much to do. So decided to head off a night before schedule. Drove another 300km tonight and just got to Coffs Harbour. However, have no booking for campsite. Guess sleeping in the car for the night and find somewhere in the morning.

So… My journey has begun

About 2 months ago, a strong thought came into my head that I want to drive around Australia myself with CJ (the youngest of our 3 Labradors). Many friends including my partner “jokingly” say it is another midlife crisis of mine.

It felt like it at times; but I think I just wanted some time by myself. Doing some thinking, and most of all, practicing photography (my favorite hobby for the past year). So my mind was made up and here I am. The only thing is that I decided to go alone. Many places in the country do not allow dog entering. So it wouldn’t be fair on CJ.

So with not much of a plan, I set off today and driven close to 400km arriving Tamworth. Love the drive here. The Hunter region is one of my favorite place in NSW. Haven’t had a chance to walk around yet as I arrived late in the afternoon.

I think I am off to bed now, have a slight headache from the drive today and caffeine withdrawn 🙁

I will try to post everyday with a picture or two. Stay tuned!

Oh! Peter, thanks for the tip. I hired a beacon for my trip.

Nite nite all!
