Red Wok at Red Rocks

 Not only was there a very funny Chinese restaurant at Red Rocks but the beach is called Blueys!
We chucked the boards on the roof just before lunch and did a little adventure to suss out 3 different surf breaks that we had heard about- Woolgoolga, Arrawarra and Wed Wocks (say all them 5 times fast).

They are all just north of Emerald Beach where we are staying in a Big 4 resort style caravan park with all the extras, including very nice ensuites.  So we became Big 4 members and I am officially Dary Hall on the card.  Ian Man and Joanee have joined us again from Armidale and we are behind their caravan in the photo below.

Nathanial wants to be a professional tennis player and not go to school so Big E checked whether he had any talent, then we packed lunch and went off to Woolgoolga.

It was blowing an absolute Benny Gale at Woolgoolga and there was no swell on the protected point but the boys posed in front of the blue lighthouse and did the Karate Kid with Emerald Beach way in the background.

We had lunch at Arrawarra then hit the surf there, with nice 3 to 4 footers breaking off the point and plenty of dolphins around.  Joan and Nathanial decide not to get wet and Kirst forget her fins and therefore didn't domintae the waves as much as she would have.

The last spot today was Blueys which was really pretty and sadly a location where an aboriginal massacre occurred many years ago where they were forced off the cliff.

So to catch up on the last few days, we had a Big Saturday at Crescent Head, starting the day with all the crew in the water catching waves and Kirst counselling a salmon watcher in the surf, then Kirst beating us in a big game of bowls at the country club although Wooz was the stand out hitting the kitty relentlessly.  Then we played golf on the 6 holer which was on the cliff with amazing views, we even spanked a few balls out to sea and then the boys got some air, mountain biking down the last hole.  Then we hit Vick's Chinese at the country club in the Hall tradition and you can see Kirst very excited about the steamed rice.  

The rest of the crew were very happy for her.

We had the big bacon and eggs cook up the next morning for mothers day and the boys made a terrific card and breakfast menu.  We rang Nanny after that and then we took Joanee out for dinner at the Seaview in Woolgoolga and everyone toasted all the mums that we know and love. 

Then Monday we had a great walk down to Sandy beach and Arch and Wooz practiced their snorkelling in the pool and Nathanial practiced his yogic flying.

 Then we hit Coffs in the arvo for a major shop at the surf shop- Nathanial finally got a new scooter that noone else is allowed to ride, Wooz got his boardies, Arch and Kirst got wetsuit tops and I got Parko's book.  Then we had a ride on a motorised skateboard which is very cool and very expensive and then we hit Coffs golf course for 9 holes where Arch was the standout and my bag fell off the cart and the shaft on Richies driver snapped.  Should be fixed for tomorrow though when E and I take on Bonville.

In the meantime a big goodbye from Wed Woks.
