Went and had a chat with the principal at Trundle school. Small rural town. Some interesting challenges faced out there, things that we wouldn’t even consider in the big city. Bit more playing on Spice Field. Another walk up to the Memorial Lookout.

Good zoo. Lots of animals. Can drive around in a car or hire a cart. Cart was good. Bit of mischief around the camp with the neighbours.

Just south of Coffs. Nice little spot. Paddle boarding or a bit of snorkeling in the creek.
