ABOUT

Hi, I'm Cindy

For many years I have been travelling the coast between Victoria and Queensland. It's easy to hit the bitumen and just keep going, only taking a break when it's time to fuel up'. Not for me, I am easily distracted from the highway. This has taken me into some colourful coastal towns, vibrant villages and superb natural surrounds. Many of the smaller towns are feeling the pinch of the decrease in passing trade as the highway bypasses are being built.

This site is a collection of photographs and experiences I have had along the way. I hope they inspire you to take breaks just off the highway when you are travelling the NSW coast.
