With Rocky fully repaired and ready for action, we were keen to return to Armidale and get camping. It was time to also get fossicking again. Before the week was out, I learnt a much easier way to fossick...
But some things are more important, like friends and nice beaches. So after a short stopover with Jo's parents in Caloundra (thank you again for your wonderful hospitality), we diverted to the magical town of Byron Bay. We were all looking forward to catching up with some dear friends - and a dip in the beautiful water was a bonus.
The weather was absolutely perfect, and we spent ages splashing about in the waves. You can see why this is such a popular place with tourists, and jealously guarded by the locals.
We came back to Armidale to a repaired Amarok. The dealer in Tamworth had replaced the CV boot and the air conditioner compressor. Shane from Opposite Lock had picked up Rocky to replace our broken shock absorber. Mum and Dad had then picked up Rocky and brought it back to their place. I was really impressed with the team from Opposite Lock in Tamworth - who were extremely easy to deal with over the phone, and would happily recommend them.
