North Coast Living

Relax, its time to chill in the company of friends, sunshine and surf - what a great place to start a journey!

Driving north is always a good feeling. The degrees start to climb and the smile broadens. First stop Arrawarra, 10 mins north of Woolgoolga "the cultural hub of the mid north coast". This is home to a special mate of ours - the Arrawarra Action Man, Craig "Crackers" Brand with his Mid North Coast Yogini, the lovely Ms Anna. We are shown textbook hospitality which covered the 3 most important areas - fuel, fluid and love.

How good are dinner parties!


Lennox Head was the next destination to visit. Here another good friend awaits - Mr Andrew Wafer "Wafes" or "Woofter" relocated here from Newcastle in an attempt to become more hip. He prides himself on a smooth style of surfing and having the ability to fix any injury, but his real passion is in the corn chip demolition industry. Alongside the talented Ms Kiera "Wheatbix" we were in for more gods nectar good times, waves, and the fortnightly markets.

It was only natural that we then made our way to The Broken Head Hillbilly Retreat where Jesse "Froth King" Bourke resides. Jesse has a flock of cronies that he hangs and surfs with including Carrot, Doghead, Pig, Al Dog and The German. Every barrell he gets is either "THE BEST BARRELL OF MY LIFE" or "IT WAS F@#KING INSANE!". Between surfs in this sweet palm paradise we got our kicks from home cooked meals by the fire and in house entertainment by the "Froth King" and his cronies. Despite it being a little on the cold side Huey really turned on the fun park at Lennox and Broken Head, Sharpes, Brunswick Bar and a few other spots...The North Coast has got it:)
