Still in Casino, still waiting for the NSW and Qld school holidays to end.
While we wait we have been blessed with nice weather, now that it has stopped raining! The nights are cool to cold and the days are perfect, warm and sunny without being hot enough to turn on the air conditioner.
We can sit and watch the light aircraft leaving and landing at the airport beside the park and at night we hear trains somewhere not too far away. Last night we had a helicopter hovering over us, Himself thinks they may have been waiting for the landing lights to be turned on at the airport.
The bays of the park are separated by lovely high hedges of lilly pilly and they in turn provide homes and hideaways for all sorts of little birds and tiny skinks. We often see blue wrens and lorikeets roost in a gum tree at the end of our allocated space.
Part of this whole set up is a "Over 55's" Village. Believe me, some of them are way over 55! Zimmer frames and gophers nearly out number cars around here. Still it is interesting to watch them going about their day as they stroll, play golf, bingo, cards, snooker, bowls and a dozen other activities available to them (which we as guests are also welcome to join in) and keep active.
Casino has all the usual country town services. There are lots of shops as well as a Coles, Woolworths and Aldi. I have passed a large nursing home so I gather there is a hospital somewhere.
Down the road 30 km is Lismore. Lismore is a fairly large town. It is big enough to have a Masters and a Bunnings! Himself was a happy camper when he spotted that. Another 30 km past Lismore is Ballina which is larger again and from there it is only 30 km to Byron Bay. Perhaps we should research this district in more depth?
