Bellingen, Nice while it lasted (just don't eat there!)

We put off our holiday to the mid-north coast because of Riley's arm. No fun going to Coffs and surrounds when he can't swim right??

Bellingen was nice. Quirky but nice.

The kids got an introduction to animals that they hadn't really had before. (They got in trouble of course for trying to get in the horse paddock)

  Dad loved the tire swing

Riley was brave enough to get covered in slobber by the pet sheep.. than was in dire need of a nail trim/hack.

Of course Dad found the special little locals.

Lucas loving his freedom in the paddock (it had to be supervised freedom! The owner was a little highly strung. Shame as we wanted to just run everywhere!)

We visited a butterfly farm nearby. The kids went through the maze, ditched me in the middle and ran back out again at speed.

Up the mountain. This is the pic where we've said for the MILLIONth time, "Please stay on the path". Then Lucas found a stinging tree (naturally Riley was the one that got the sting). Little monkeys.

 Beautiful falls. The day I didn't bring any swimmers - bummer!
