WEDNESDAY, 22nd JUNE.
It was another day of scenic driving...from Roseburg this morning just a little bit of freeway before turning off on to a minor road, a scenic byway featuring a covered bridge, one of fifty remaining from the over three hundred built in the early years of last century, then following the Umpqua River through pine forests, a few small vineyards and some farms for most of the way to the coast. A stop for coffee at a roadhouse/cafe in Scottsburg and lunch in a park by the marina in Lakeside before reaching Coos Bay early this afternoon made for an enjoyable, easy day. After settling in at the motel, we went exploring and at the Visitor Centre in the town, bumped into a couple from Perth....it seems that the country is crawling with 'Down Underers'! We capped off the day with a fish and chip meal at a cute little cafe on the harbour.
