But recently my friend Monique pushed us to go away in the first week of this term, before activities/classes properly started and daily life took over.
So off we went, to Forster and despite short rain showers and mozzies, we all had a wonderful time.
We stayed at a place recommended by a spear fishing friend - Lanis Island Holiday Park. Initially, driving in, we all thought "Oh no, it's a conventional caravan park, all packed in next to each other", but....if you drive through the park, over a small causeway and down a track, you eventually come to a peninsula, surrounded by water, with not a sign of civilisation to be seen.
