Diamond Head, Port Stephens, panorama photos

A visit to Diamond Head, for Sunday lunch, this is the view, I can't stop using the panorama setting on my Fuji Xe2.
What a glorious secluded spot in the Crowdy Head National Park, with the beachside caravan park almost full when we visited even out of season. With a modern amenities block, picnic tables and on the beach, what more could you want for a holiday.

We had a wander on the beach, through the rocks, and the boys went for a quick swim, using the beach shower after and we spent a relaxing afternoon enjoying the company of good friends and a picnic lunch.

Visiting Goannas - Harrington

Staying at the Big 4 Caravan Park on the Beach at Harrington, there were a family of goannas resident in the bush next door. They visited the park regularly. They are quite vicious and not to be played with

Trying out the panoramic setting on my new Fuji Xe2.  The Harrington breakwall stretches across the mouth of the Manning River, controlling floods and tides







Sunset dinner at Ibis Styles River Lodge Harrington. A beautiful hotel with an Irish Pub, we watched the sun set over the Manning River. Our meals were delicious and we had some great company
