Early morning walk and coffee ended at Tacking Point Lighthouse. A few early whale watchers, I think, surveying a grey seascape.

The pandemic has decimated tourism around the world. And Timbertown, on the mid-north coast of NSW, is just another that has fallen victim to the ongoing crisis. I remember when I first visited this attraction (many moons ago), it was a hive of activity. Lots of interesting things to see, lots to do. Now, it’s like a ghost town. Many who have worked there over the years have had to leave to find other means of supporting their family, and there have been no others coming in to replace them. Timbertown is a olden-day village, and as such, people who work there, like the blacksmith, possess a very unique set of skills. These people are not easy to find. I’m a little sad about this one- https://youtu.be/TGjFGpnQXBE #experiences #life #tourism #touristattraction #wauchope #portmacquarie #timbertown #yesteryear #roadtrip #family #fun

Episode 3 of my new series, “Experiences”. Recently, our family had the chance to visit the #koalahospital in #portmacquarie. It is a place where a team of dedicated people, work around the clock, to look after sick and injured koalas. It was an amazing experience to be able to get so close to these cute little guys. https://youtu.be/myuCvQIPuJw

A good-hearted somebody has been out along the path popping tiny messages of hope and inspiration. The signs are no more than a few cm tall/wide so very easy to miss - but oh so enjoyable to discover. #Australia #inspiration #kindness #NSW #signs #walking #portmacquarie #Guruk

TRUE STORY: The town Christmas tree was lit up last night...to silence and then hilarity and disbelief. At least council had a sense of humour about it. Apparently that's what you get when you decorate a tree during high winds and a hailstorm. 😂

Perhaps I should have done the #introduction first but anyway. Off the bat I'm not leaving Twitter, this is just another outlet for me. Very much single, Postal worker for 14 years, stuck in Central #Queensland for a while but it would take a work transfer and a housing package to make a move.
There's also the running thing, where I've finished
- 8 #Melbourne Marathons
- 5 #goldcoast Marathons (and 2 Half Marathons)
- 5 #Perth City to Surf Marathons
- 2 #canberra Marathons (plus 4 50km Ultras when that was run)
- 2 #Auckland Marathons
- 1 #Cairns #Marathon
- 1 #Wangaratta Marathon
Plus a slew of Half Marathons, 5 finishes of the Treble Breakwall Buster in #PortMacquarie (half marathon + 10km + 5km back to back) and the #sydney City2Surf 5 times (67 minutes best time), some of which come with accompanying YouTube video.
Add local #afl (sorry, Australian Rules) player/umpire/one time reserve grade coach and she gets pretty busy.

Another gorgeous piece of rock art today on the break wall by the beach - artist unknown - featuring a native yellow-tailed black cockatoo.
