Day 39 started out leaving early for Coffs Harbour… This is about 320Km from the Gold Coast. Unfortunately the weather was very extreme! This turned out to be quite exciting. I’ve not been a real storm for a while. The rain came down real heavy!! In 6 hours Coffs Harbour had more rain than Melbourne gets in a whole year!
The road flooding on the way from Grafton to Coffs Harbour.
The storm carried on through the evening… and the rain just kept coming… The next day the sun decided to come out and we did a few things which was awesome. We went to a nearby marina and took a long walk.
The marina below. We had just walked along the path you can see and we're going up a small hill.
Kim and Owen on the walk on top of the small hill.

I liked this view of the marina path way.

After the marina, we went for a drive to Harbour Town a short distance away…
The Coffs Harbour horse race field flooded! Taken while driving to Harbour Town. ISO 640, 1/8000 sec, F4.
More flooding on the road side...

Taken near were we had lunch on the river...
Another view... the water in the shot was from the flooding.
This is a bridge over the restaurant where we had a fantastic lunch!

After lunch, we took a walk along the river…
An on-the-river home. Notice the water level on the stairs!
I couldn't resist the reflection on the buildings on the flood water...
Hmm.. looks like Owen is struggling to walk any further after the large lunch!
Golf Course is flooded...
I asked Owen to stand by this wall... No flash for a change! 😉

Magnificent stuff! I am so jealous, look at the trees! I love that last photo.Got a thing for blue doors!
Thanks for the time you take to do this!

Giggle… I had seen that wall and the blue door and very quickly asked my Nephew to stand there! Always handy to have a model on stand by! 😉
Very nice pictures Gwyn, it looks like you had a lot of rain on that day, the mountains in the mist look great.
Cheers

Thanks Steve. There was so much rain! Never seen as much rain ever! It poured down… The hotel was on a hill so we didn’t see any floods.
