As we drove south down the Pacific highway, we stumbled upon a little town called New Italy. This town was founded by some Italian immigrants in about 1850, after an unsuccessful attempt to start a community in New France, which was actually New Ireland. They eventually came to New Holland and settled in New Italy!
There are none of the descendents of these Italians left here, but a fascinating huge Italian museum which we spent ages looking through.
We drove on to another small seaside village, Iluka, visiting the bluff and lookout, where we were entertained by a huge whale doing backflips along the coast. From there we did a rainforest walk, enjoyable but not as impressive as the rainforests that we have seen further north – we have been so spoiled. 
We had lunch at Woody Head in the Bundjalung National Park just a couple of kms away, and liked the place so much we decided to stay. Camping next to us was a little girl who could have been Olive’s twin. She was the same age with similar curly blonde hair. Olive spent the afternoon playing with her and her older sister.
