Picking up the Camper Day 3

Woke up at around 6 am but lazed and read in bed until about 7 am because I knew it wouldn't take long to pack up and hit the road. Headed north then west towards Picton and joined up with the Hume Highway and headed into Sydney. Took the M7 and M2 around the city and then headed out through Hornsby to the north. The traffic was worse than when I came through on Thursday evening, but at least it flowed. Those lanes seem awfully narrow with a 2 m wide camper on the back of Blute. Stopped for a late breakfast/morning tea at the service centre on the freeway and then continued on towards Newcastle. Around noon I stopped off at North Arm Cove to say hello to Norm and Sandy and have a quick cuppa. Then onto the service centre at Taree where I refueled both the Blute and me (or is that I).
I had intended to stop in at Hat Head National Park for the evening but it turns out that you can't get to the park access road from the new northern section of the Kempsey bypass road. So I continued on and took the turn off to Stuarts Point. I ended up at the Grassy Head Caravan park for the evening. 

After a day of driving I took a nice walk to the beach and the lookout, before having dinner and retiring to bed early to read for awhile. All up I drove 630 Kms from Kiama to Grassy Head.
