Kings Cliff

 1 Day at a Recommended Spot

After chilling out for a few days it was time to move on and we had been recommended going to Kings Cliff by Debs mate Fi.

It was only a short drive of about 30k so we were soon arriving at the campsite which was about 2k outside the town.  The campsite itself was quite small but very pristine as all the plots were astro-turf, which as we found out in the morning was nice as they were not covered in dew. Also it meant that you didn’t tread dirt into the van. 

The site was also right next to yet another beautiful beach so we could just sit there and listen to the waves crashing on the beach.

Once we had set up we decided to take a walk along the beach into the town, however just as we were heading up we spotted a surf club on the front so we went up there to have a beer.

As we sat there we then saw whales in the distance, so as it was nice and sunny and it was great to see whales there we spent the afternoon there drinking and watching the whales, it’s a tough life on the road!! You can just make out the blowhole spray at the top of this picture.

Just as we were thinking of leaving we got a message from Susan (who we had met in Laos and we were going to stay with the next day) and she said she lived 15 minutes from here so she said she would come down and meet us for a drink.

Susan turned up and we had a drink with her whilst catching up on what we had been up to since we had met in Laos.  A little later we were joined by one of Susan’s best friends, Carmel and her partner and we spent the rest of the evening chatting and drinking.

We finally left the bar around 9 and Susan kindly offered to drive us back to our campsite and then joined us for a nightcap outside Muriel before heading off.

As it had been quite a boozy day we were thankful to have one of Shell’s Chorizo stews ready to go in our fridge, so we just heated this up for a late dinner before going to bed for the night.
