Requiem.net.au :: Family Holiday at Yamba


Volume 1
My journey to Yamba begins at the coach depot in Brisbane city

I arrive at Roma Street Coach terminal

I did not collect $200

Today we'll be traveling with Kirklands. I hope you enjoy your trip with us

Holy Najaf Batman!

The Xchange

Crikey! The baby ate my dingo
The coach gets moving. To pass the time, I take some photos. Due to the noxious levels of cleaning fumes, I was too sick to read my book: "The Philosophy of Religion". I later had a discussion about the topic with a German backpacker.
Brisbane passes me by

A rare sight on the streets of Surfers, Japanese tourists

Turning left, we see nothing of Whiting beach, but quite a bit of the main rock wall, which my dad, and others, commonly fish for Black fish off of

Rocky inlet at the base of the lighthouse

My walk around Lovers Point

Reflections on a theme of H20. Ooh yeah

Nice rock

Not much to say here

The hill on Lovers Point. It's not too hard to guess why when you see the views

The next day I decide to take a walk around the town. I had a chat with some of the locals, and met one very nice girl at the surf shop

One of the 5 surf shops in the town of around 70 shops

Finger impressions

Temptation Island 2

Surfboard curtains

Hand and Heart, followed by the place about to be bought out by it

Planet Jerds

How embarrassing. A house full of shitty merchandise and no food.

Yambience. Fucken-A.

Nice beach

Surf lifesaver's building and the Pacific Hotel

Another nice rock

Beach temptations

Ye pool

These guys are the first of three, to have built over the embankment . There was much protesting over this, but 10 million dollars tends to make some people go blind

Seagulls. Good enough to eat.

What I'm gonna do, is stick my finger up its bum

Damn it.

Sailing ship

Rocks.

Teko looks on expectantly for tidbits



After the walk around the rocks and a rest back at home, we head out for our afternoon headland stroll

Flying higher than an eagle

Say, that's a nice lighthouse

Dad takes the dog for a jog

Rock wall and slightly more of Whiting beach

Lighthouse door. No lonely men in this tower.

Rocky cliffs

Author gets a shot

Looking down towards the rock wall and the water break inlet

Down I go along the dangerous path

We've got to do it again, and again and again, and again, and again.

Teko strains on her harness

Wow, nice water

Plaque outside the lighthouse

The sun begins to set on our holiday

Nice colours

It's a big pizza pie
