Well we headed over the top of the Great Dividing Range, weaving our way up and down the hills to Casino before heading through Lismore on our way south to Evans Head. The damage to some of the houses we saw in Lismore is almost incomprehensible the depth of water is beyond belief. The blue house above had signs of mud on the roof above the spouting, staggering to think the water was that deep. Ironically we struck rain as we were driving through that area.
We rocked up to the Reflections Evans Head Tourist Park to be staggered by the size of the enterprise – over 500 sites and most of them are occupied. We had booked into a riverside site, foolishly imagining we would be on the edge of the river when in fact it meant the sites furtherest from the river mouth but closest to the town. At $66 a night I would have to say I’m less than impressed but the facilities are nearby and are brand new. We are staying two nights here so I guess I’ll have to grin and bear it.
