Spent a lovely weekend up in Guilderton camping next to the Moore River. Was lucky enough to witness the sandbank break and the river empty out into the sea ( apparently it happens 10 ish so times a year). Started as a little trickle and ended up huge all within 2 hours. A great weekend camping with the Staffords, biking, paddling and playing on the beach with the kids.
