I agree that it is a pleasant drive, and well worth doing if you aren't
in a hurry going further North or South. However, it is more rewarding
if you linger a little longer in the district to see the Tweed Coast, or
Murwillumbah, or the little villages like Uki, Burringbar, Stokers
Siding or similar.
I'm slightly biased, as I live he-)
Some pix from spots just off the highway to whet your appetite:

Nice pix in your blog Alan. I remember camping at Pottsville in the
summer of 1965, a violent storm came in from the ocean and demolished
the place. There were airborne tinnies and caravans, and marquee tents
ripped to shreds. It was all so very exciting for a young kid. We were
biletted that night in the general store/post office, as it was one of
the few buildings which wasn't damaged. The town of Brunswick Heads also
sustained a lot of damage in that storm.
Thanks. It was holidays in Hastings Point that drew me back
to the district for my retirement.
Luckily I haven't seen any storms to equal the one you
described since my return in '99.
Cheers, Alan, Australia
