Fingal Bay

Here we are in Fingal Bay! Fingal Bay is part of Port Stephens on the central coast of NSW & our Dad’s Uncle Ross lives here. We are staying at his house from Wednesday until Saturday.

Today Uncle Ross showed us all around the place, including places like Nelson Bay, Shoal Bay & an old lighthouse. There is also a Coastal Rescue station at the lighthouse & Nathan got to go up & talk to the rescue crew & watch them work. There was also a museum there about Nelson Bay & all the things that happened here over the years. This included the ship ‘Lady Nelson’ which is now docked at Hobart!

Yesterday, Uncle Ross took us to his work at Williamtown Airforce Base. He works on the F-18 Hornets & Hawk 127 Lead In Fighters. It was awesome but as it is top secret, we weren't allowed to take photos. The planes look great.

It has been quite wet today so tomorrow, when the good weather arrives, we can go for a walk & a swim.

We got on the plane on Monday & Dad picked us up & took us straight to Echuca. We had pizza for tea & played with our cousin Jen, Nicholas & Abby. The next day we got up pretty early & drove for six hours to Yass. We stayed in a cabin & had tea then straight to bed. On Wednesday we got up early & drove to Uncle Ross’ via the Sydney Harbour & Anzac Bridges. They were huge!

We will update our blog when we get to Brisbane.
