Dear Samir, It’s good to hear from you my friend, and I am pleased to tell you about our holiday last year. We decided to travel to Wallakala because we had heard from friends that it was an interesting place to visit. It’s on the coast and only about a 2 hour drive north of Sydney so, as a family, we decided to take the car. Wallakala has a range of accommodation but we wanted this to be a special holiday and therefore booked a beachfront villa for a week. We’re so glad we did. Not only are the villas almost on the sand but the standard is first-class. Waking up to the sound of the waves and watching the sun rising was such a magnificent experience. Wallakala also has a national park nearby and there are many fascinating coastal and bushland walks. Samir, not only do I recommend this place to you, but I say that you must go there. Your family will absolutely love it and they will love you for taking them there. Kind regards, Bilu
