"Restriction creates yearning, you want what you cannot have."
Portia De Rossi
The border opened for Queensland on the 1st of October. So that means we can travel to Northern NSW again. House sitting is once again open for us, in one of our favourite areas. Gosh we've missed the simple ability to go into NSW, there's nothing like restrictions to make you feel stuck. Or is that just me?
Whatever you do, don't try to invade Queensland right now, it could be very expensive. I'm wondering how they come up with the fine amounts.
Not my lock but I did indeed leave part of my heart in Lennox Head. View from the top of the headland. We had a lovely walk up from the Point Cafe all the way to the top of Lennox Headland. We saw whales but sadly, it was a bit sobering to walk up there and see all the notices to call lifeline.
Anyways, we've been down to NSW a couple of times now and have had some wonderful explores. Places we've never been before, now taking time to simply take the road less travelled and we're finding some gorgeous places.
The first weekend the border opened, I thought it would be a nice getaway for Kevin's birthday to travel down the coast. I tried to book into Lennox Head, but as that was already booked out. So I looked further afield, and found a gorgeous air bnb at East Ballina. It turned out even better than I'd imagined and we'll be going back again.

The home is set amongst tropical gardens in a quiet neighbourhood. The bird life makes more noise than the neighbours! Guests enjoy a spacious bedroom and separate lounge area, a bathroom with shower and bath and a separate toilet. There is a large undercover area where guests can relax and look out over our saltwater pool area and the adjacent river. River views are from most rooms. Guests have private access via a side path.
