Time to get some perspective Nov 22, 2008 - 07:00 AM

Amidst the economic doom and gloom, my wife and I decided to seek solace in a pampered pure luxury holiday. We initially planned to go to Hawaii, however, the rapid decline of the $A (aka pacific peso) would have made this a very expensive proposition.

Plan B actually ended up the better alternative. It involved a 550km car drive from Sydney to a beach town called Coffs Harbour.

A stopover at my favourite Winery Lake’s Folly (Australia’s iconic boutique winery which is renowned for its cabernet and chardonnay) was another bonus.




We decided to spend our vacation time at Aanuka Beach Resort which is relatively secluded with its own private beach area.




It is a haven for couples and an oasis of privacy which is perfect.



During our sojourn, the biggest concern was what to eat and drink on the fabulous menu or whether to swim in one of the many rock pools and\or private beach. Naturally we had to stay in one of the Paradise Spa Bure’s.

During our holiday, there were also some wildlife surprises that you will only find in Australia. Like water dragons and bush turkeys.

Cheeky fellow



No, one should not eat them LOL. Definitely not the Thanksgiving or Christmas Turkey.




Whilst only a short break of one week, taking time to enjoy family and friends with your favourite watch is true WISdom.

Thanks for having a look!! Catch you soon.
