Yamba – a stunning, peaceful beachside town
When Yamba was suggested as a potential stopover by my husband, I wouldn’t say that I jumped with excitement. In fact, he will tell you that my response to him was this underwhelming look of ‘why?’. I have to admit that before our visit, the only thing that I knew about Yamba was that it […]
