Security Warning For Yamba
Times have changed in the sleepy town of Yamba! Gone are the days when you could and would go to work/school and leave the front door of your house unlocked and have no doubts that everything was safe.
If you tried to do that these days it would only be a matter of time before you would come back to things missing. It is a shame how things and the actions of a small few can change the feeling of a small community like Yamba.
It has got to the stage where some residents are even putting barb wire along the top of fences to keep people out.
If you are going to come to Yamba for a weekend break or the approaching Easter hoildays, please ensure you lock your car, apartments and don't leave valuables unattended on the beaches. Just to make sure!

Yamba Holiday Apartment on Fire!
A private holiday accommodation apartment has had some serious damage caused to the kitchen over the weekend.
The Yamba Fire Brigade headed by captain Alan Brooks was called to the apartment situated above Lovers Point and Pippi Breach on Sunday at just before midnight.
It has been reported that on arrival the kitchen was well and truely alight, but lucky for the owners of the property, fire damage has been limited to the kitchen due to the swift actions of the Yamba Fire Brigade. However smoke damage has scared the property inside with damage to walls, bedroom areas and stair cases.
At the time the property was not occupied and it seems that the fire has started from a faulty kitchen appliance.

McDonald's Now Polluting Yamba
Maccas has been open for about a month in Yamba and lets just say that it has already started to pollute our environment. There are photos of food wrapping left around the Golden Arches driveway (100 metres) eitherside. You can see the pics here and here.
It is disapointing to hear that some residents further from the junk food outlet are also finding rubbish out the front of their homes and in waterways!
The question I have is, does McDonalds just attract idiots that have the need to throw their rubbish on the ground when they are done, or if this rubbish was not McDonalds, would be something else?
Eitherway, as the majority of Yamba was against the opening of McDonalds, I think the franchise owner better start looking at what measures they can do to remove their rubbish from the streets of Yamba. Even if he has to be out pounding the streets himself picking up rubbish!

2010 Yamba Rod Run
If you were in town over the weekend you could not have missed the 2010 Yamba Rod Run.
This year was without doubt the biggest event to date with 355 entrants rumbling their way into town. Now an annual event and in its 19th year the Rod Run has come a long way from its beginnings.
The event included a number of cruises around the street of Yamba and surrounding areas, display, trade-stands, a parade, show and shine event, auctions and entertainment for the kids.

2 Holiday Escapes From The Gold Coast
There are so many great little holiday destinations that are within a few hours' drive of the Gold Coast. It is a shame that more people that live on the coast really don't take more time out from the busy Gold Coast lifestyle and see these places first hand. Here are 2 of my favourite destinations:
1. Maleny - A small town west of the Sunshine Coast, it is quickly becoming a popular wedding and weekend escape destination for Brisbane and Sunshine Coast residents. Approximately 3 hours drive from the Gold Coast and you will be perched on top of the Sunshine Coast Hinterland and enjoying the crisp mountain air of Maleny. A perfect destination to escape to with that special loved one for a romantic weekend away from reality. The accommodation is perfectly suited for a couple's weekend away with many of the accommodations fitted with private spas that overlook the postcard views of the Maleny valley.
2. Yamba - Without doubt a popular holiday destination, however the number of Gold Coasters that make their way past Byron Bay to Yamba is relatively low. Yamba has something for everyone and shares a lot of activities that the Gold Coast has to offer. One of the biggest attractions to Yamba is the surfing. With over 10 beaches and several point breaks, Yamba can and does produce some of the best surf in Australia. The most famous break is of course, Angourie Point. A right hand point break that has a takeoff over a rock ledge that can leave your ego bruised and body battered.
Yamba and Maleny are within 3 hours drive of the Gold Coast so you will not waste a lot of time travelling to or from either destination. Along the way there are many small little towns that offer some great spots to stop, stretch the legs and enjoy a coffee if needed. If you are travelling to either destination during peak season, make sure you book your accommodation well in advance, especially Yamba accommodation. I hope you take the time to visit these two fantastic holiday destinations, you will not regret your decision.

Why Choose Yamba As Your Holiday Destination?
Yamba is a small coastal town in Northern New South Wales that has been a hot spot for tourism for years. However, after Yamba was thrown in the National spot light as the number 1 small town in Australia, tourism and the interest in the area has been booming and for good reasons.
Yamba has something for everyone when on holiday, from a relaxing game of golf, a spot of fishing, wind surfing, kite boarding, whale watching or just sitting on the balcony of your holiday apartment and taking in the gorgeous views you can do it in Yamba. Like every holiday destination, there are always activities that make the destination special, but how many are national or world renowned?
Here are 2 points why you should choose Yamba as your next holiday destination:
1. Surfing - Yamba is home to some of the best beaches in Australia and one point break that is known to surfers from around the world - Angourie Point. The right hand point break had its debut in 1962 in Surfing World Monthly Magazine and was listed in the top 25 waves in the world in 1989.
Performing at its best from February to May with an East swell and light Southerly breeze is when Angourie Point is delivering waves surfers spend their lives dreaming about. With a tricky surging takeoff over a rock ledge, Angourie Point can be intimidating and relentless on a solid day.
2. Seafood - As Yamba is located on the Clarence River, the second largest river on mainland Australia and Pacific Ocean with one of the best climates in the world according to the CSIRO. This combination makes it perfect breading grounds for a wide range of seafood. However, it is the common Prawn that draws the most attention to Yamba in the seafood sector.
One of Australia's top chefs and celebrity chef and restaurateur, Matt Moran has gone national with his love of prawns from Yamba and challenges society to find a better prawn in the world.
