Coraki 21 January 2009

Wandered down the river to Coraki, another small riverside village that Peter remembered from when he was working for the SES. Are there any northern river towns that don’t flood! We set up camp on the river and had a wander around the shops and ended up chatting to John, who ran a 2nd hand shop. His family had lived there for generations and he had the junk to prove it, however in amongst the debris, were some astonishing antiques that delighted us both. We were charmed by the village and decided to stay a few days, when we got a phone call from our very expectant daughter. Even though the baby was not due for 3 weeks, she had complications and advised us to hurry home. We set off for Kempsey that afternoon and after an overnight stop at the racecourse hurried down to Sydney.
