The silver screen

With the rain coming down we headed for Coffs Harbour and to see Emerald beach as there are meant to be Kangaroos running around on there. I guess they were also sick of the rain as the beach was sans Kangas. We did find an ultra modern campsite in Coffs Harbour though, so through the relentless rain we pitched our tent and came to the executive decision to head for the movies.

As  fortune would have it (thank you Lord), the only movie starting in the next hour was 'American Gangster'. I got my obligatory popcorn and coke, opting on this occasion for the packet of M&M's mixed in with the popcorn(thanks Allister V for introducing me to this tasty treat) and enjoyed one of the great films i have seen in the last year.

When we got out the rain had ended for a while but would return again throughout the night finding ways through the porous base of our tent.

A few observations I have made today that i would like to share with you:

1. We need to return this hire car, my trainers and dirty towel have made it stink
2. You are not really Australian unless you have three surfboards on your roof rack and 3 fishing rods strapped next to them  
3. I miss the road trip music we used to listen to as kids with my parents. I promise to get some Frankie Lane, Queen, and Cliff Richard for our next road trip (not quite sure how Celia will feel about this)
