A wet and windy Port Macquarie

Tony and I travelled up to Port MacQuarie for a few days this week and found the place soaking wet with some amazing rain coming down.
Our aim was to have a good look around and find an area that we liked and could live in for 12 or so months. It is holiday season so everything was fairly busy but it is a very lovely place and much grown since I was there last, some 25 years ago. LOL.
We stayed at a lovely B & B and even though it rained most of the time we did get one lovely and very long walk along lighthouse beach (above).

And (below) looking out from the top of Town Beach (sitting in the car knitting, LOL). Well what else do you do on a wet and wild day? We did have enough dry time to get around and enjoy some nice food at different places and plenty of great coffee too.
I was trying to get some good photo's for the photoshop workshop I am doing soon with DJ but it was hard to get anything of much interest, I wanted some cows and horses in paddocks but they all seemed to be along way away. Oh well, I shall have to keep trying or use some web photo's instead. As I look at the greyish photos I managed to take, I can start to see some possibilities so may be not worthless after all.
