We've just been down to the coast for four days - me Dot and Judy. Judy won first prize in a raffle many months ago - several nights in a caravan park at Sawtell staying in one of their 'villas'. If that conjures up images of a villa in Tuscany, you're wrong. It was an up-market cabin, but actually very nice provided one ignores the air conditioning failing on a day when the temperature reached 36 C. Anyway, we all needed some R & R and sitting atop some of the best coastal scenery in NSW was a good location. Even the weather stayed mostly fine, though hot on the first day. And anyway, we didn't spend long in the villa because there were lots of beach walks, not to mention attractions in the nearby towns of Coffs Harbour and Sawtell.
The caravan park, it was a relief to find, was spacious and green with lots of trees and even two croquet courts. The attached photos show the view from our 'villa' and the beautiful panoramas from adjacent beaches north to Mutton Bird Island and south towards Scotts Head and Southwest Rocks. Mutton birds (which used to be eaten - hence the name) still inhabit the island, but they're safe now because it is part of the local Marine Park.
