"Lucky Pigs" is the name given to our Winnebago motor-home by the previous owners who had friends from New Zealand who used to call them "Lucky Pegs" because they were living and traveling in the Winnebago around Australia as we are now doing. "Lucky Pigs" in New Zealand are equivalent to "Lucky Buggers" here in Australia. We decided to keep the existing name after purchasing it in February 2010.

GRAFTON
Away from our camp at "Delicate Knobby Campground" around 9.30am after we took a walk along the beach and let Daisy off her lead for a change, which she enjoyed alot! Then after refueling at Cresent Heads (Diesel $1.509 - elsewhere was $1.58!) we traveled via Kempsey and Macksville to Nambucca Heads for a lunch stop (photo), then via Urunga to Coffs Harbour and after looking around headed out past the "Big Banana" to our proposed stop for the night at Moonee Beach, but they wanted too much for a site there so we headed out up through the banana plantations & rainforests and even looked at a good spot that a local chap had suggested to us, but no dogs allowed there so we kept going to a road stop at Halfway Creek, which is 27km south-east of Grafton. After looking around the area and the beaches at Coffs Harbour we were very disappointed that there are no places to stop around the area except over-priced Caravan Parks, but no problem we don't spend any money there with them either! The coastline is very similar all along this coast, so we have already seen alot of it anyway.
