Fingal Head

Fingal Head is a village on the Tasman Sea coast in the far northeast of New South Wales, Australia, about 5 km south of the New South Wales and Queensland border. The village is often just called Fingal. The headland and the small off-shore Island (Cook Island) were first sighted by James Cook about 17:00 on 16 May 1770 (log date and time). Thank you Wikipedia

And it's jaw droppingly beautiful.

How is it that we've been driving past for so many years, and have never explored here before?

Such a lovely area to wander through here, an easy walk too.

The walk around this area has a feeling of going back in time, yet most of it has been restored by dune care from an old sand quarry.

Seriously, if you're in the vacinity, take the time to drive in, stop off at the Sheoak Shack - click here to visit their facebook page for something to keep your spirits up. (Thursday to Sunday at present best check)

The Sheoak Shack is a delightfully quirky arty farty cafe. It's very laid back, think Byron 30 years ago, for service and style.

Lovely food, some good tunes playing in the background and they have music on the weekend, think it's Saturday, again best check and BOOK. I heard a lot of tables being booked when we were there the other day.


AND you can bring your family member with you.
