Raymond Terrace - Day 102

What a sad day for us today, packing up and leaving our beloved Nambucca Heads and also on our way home.   Fletcher had set up a mini village for the tree people like on the show Epic and Mackenzie was busy free hand drawing the figures from the show, their memories amaze me as they were so like the show.   We really only had to hook up the van as we had packed everything away last night, we did one last lap of town and the beach and headed towards Raymond Terrace.  It was a few hours drive which seemed to take forever.  We chose a different park from our last trip here which got us a bit closer for tomorrows drive.  The park was really quite nice, we got to chose our site and got a drive through grassed site, the amenities were spotless and it had a security boom gate.  The full time residents were a little bit of a problem.  It was like out of a movie, one of those American Trailer Park setups with rough and tumble people.  They were loud and obnoxious and thought they were hilarious.  It was just after lunch on a Wednesday and they were drinking and carrying on like a Saturday night at a party.  Now we like a good party but not today.  We got to sorting out the van and the kids played ball and setup a base at the back of the van.  One other camper trailer came in late afternoon and of course chose to pull right in next to us, then by night fall a "wicked" camper came in and of course parked on the other side of us.  Arggggh the whole park and we are all on top of each other,  in defence of the wicked camper, they are told to park next to people for safety but I think they mean while out on the road, not in a caravan park, although they might need the security from the lot that live here.  We headed into town to grab some food, we are really running low on everything fresh and Mackenzie said today "I feel like something sweet........like an apple".  Got to love her but just don't know where she came from,  if we go into a shop and I say chose a treat, she will chose a plain bread roll or a peach or big red apple, my boy Fletcher will be straight to the lollie aisle!  It is a pretty big town and everyone is so friendly, they just crammed the crazy ones into our tailer park!  By the time we got back there was no one to be seen and no noise at all, so we had a really lovely night.  We had dinner and watched a movie, then when the kids went to bed Dan & I watched another film.
