Today we undertook a waterways trip, with a very pleasant 45 mins ferry cruise to Iluka. The ferry runs back and forth from Yamba several times per day, even in the low season. Beautiful warm and sunny day. It is rather demoralising to be sold "seniors tickets" without even being asked!!!!
There is not much to see or do in Iluka, but we finally found the "pub" for lunch. Food was acceptable, although mostly the standard "greasies" and "batter". Chairs and tables were a bit sticky, but the coffee and service were good. And there's always pokies for those who want them!
Ferry which runs back and forth between Yamba and Iluka on the Clarence River
Clarence River Fishermen's' Co-op on the edge of Iluka township. Note the mermaid on the rocks at the entrance, almost a copy of the one in Copenhagen.
Caravan Park at Iluka, excellent location for the fishermen amongst the campers.

Numerous pelicans waiting for fishermen to clean their catches on the stainless steel sink/ table in the foreground.
Not the pub with no beer! More pokies than people but a good atmosphere.
The Iluka pub where we had lunch. Note the "no parkin' " sign ! If we're here yesterday we would have been eligible to enter the free hot "chook" raffle.
