12th Oct, Coffs Harbour, Australia

As we had been in Coffs longer than planned we decided to look into opening a bank account.
We walked into town – we had both decided to wear our deck shoes as it was a 3km walk and both regretted it by the time we got to town with huge blisters – back to flip flops!!
We visited the 4 main banks and got all the information before deciding which one to go with. We now have a bank account sorted ready for when we have some money to put in it!!
Back at Newt we looked at the weather and debated whether to leave tomorrow for a 160 mile trip to Port Stephens. The weather for tomorrow looked ok but as we would be approaching Port Stephens a weather system with 35 knot wind was also approaching and it would be tight time wise whether we made it into Port Stephens before it hit – we decided to wait and look in the morning to see how the system was developing and moving.
