Palm Lakes - Oyster Cove - Coffs Harbour airport

A few photographs which take in the Palm Lakes/Oyster Cove location, the front of our new home and a run down to Coffs Harbour airport yesterday.
All photos enlarge to full size when clicked.

The view across the water of Oyster Cove (a backwater of the Clarence River, off Shallow Channel and Oyster Channel) towards the homes that were built about 17 years ago as part of Stage 1 of the original development.

A pathway through the "forest" which forms part of the resort and links to a pedestrian-access gate (just behind me in this photo). and then to Orion Drive.

Photo taken at about 8:30 AM, with the sun rising into a clear blue winter's sky.
Some of the original homes of Stage 1 seen on the right.

The front aspect of our new home (the structure is eight years old and we bought from the original owners) with the attached garage and the bum of the Honda Jazz showing.

Another view of the front, taken from outside the garage.
Front door and sliding door to living area beyond, both off the covered verandah.
The hedge is a combination of camellia and azalea....apparently very pretty when in flower.

The contents of the 1.5-car garage.
1990 MX5 on the left and Jazz on the right.
The Vespa GT200 (also red!) was in Grafton being serviced.
Beyond the  end wall of the garage is a covered alcove surrounded by lattice which provides a shaded outdoor living area in summer but which can really be used at any time of the year due to the mild winters.

An old brick church under the shade of a gigantic spreading Morton Bay Fig tree, on the Pacific Highway near Ulmarra.

Here's a short (45 seconds) video-clip as we passed through Ulmarra, just a kilometre on from the location in the photograph above:-

An Embraer ("Whitehaven Beach") of Virgin Australia ready to depart Coffs Harbour for Sydney yesterday afternoon.
I was at the airport awaiting the arrival of my sister on a QantasLink Dash 8 from Sydney.
Coffs is a pretty little airport and is serviced by Qantas, Virgin and Tiger.
