My weekend at Woodys Head
September 18th, 2006
I spent the weekend camping at Woodys Head, near Iluka in northern New South Wales. I haven’t been there before, but it is a really beautiful place. We were about 30 metres from the beach, and we had really good weather most of the time.
It was a bucks weekend for two of my friends, Jeremy and Quinten, who are getting married in the coming weeks (to be clear, not to each other).
Lots of eating and drinking, with some guys taking the opportunity to surf or fish, and others (like me) playing a fair bit of Texas Hold ‘Em. Yesterday, some of us went and had lunch at the Pacific Hotel at Yamba, a town south of Iluka, just over the Clarence River. If you’re ever in Yamba, be sure to have a feed at the Pacific Hotel - the food was awesome! Most of the guys ordered the biggest, tastiest burgers I’ve ever seen, and I ordered a Laksa, that had about 20 local mussels, and lots of yummy prawns. I was so impressed.
These are simple pleasures, I suppose, but times like this are the memories I think I’ll really treasure when I’m an old man. And I get home to find out the Brisbane Bronco’s flogged the Newcastle Knights over the weekend in the NRL finals. Sweet!
Back to work tomorrow, but I feel better for the break. Now for a few big weeks ahead with Uni assignments due, moving house and lots to do at work. No rest for the wicked!
Sounds like a great weekend! Congrats to Jeremy and Quinten
Yeah you will be busy in the upcoming weeks? When exactly are you moving? Sarah and I are moving 5th, 6th, 7th of Oct (that includes time to clean our old palce etc). So if you are moving after that date I can help, and help clean the house your in now. We have to sort out a time for garage sale too. This weekend is no good for me.

That’s good to know that those guys are getting married. And even better that it is not to each other… Who are the lucky ladies?
Anyway, when are you coming to Japan? I suppose that Korea will be the first stop, but I live literally a stones throw away from there so I am planing to make a trip to visit your mum when I can. I just love korean food.
Hey Wayne. Jeremy is marrying Simone, and Quinten is marrying Kharmin.
As you know, I’ve wanted to visit Japan for a long time now, and now I have even more reason to head in that direction. Hopefully I’ll be able to soon. I need to get moving house out of the way first, but maybe after that (and end-of-semester exams).
