I'd be more worried about leaving it overnight in Sunshine.

Ask the Hotel Owners if you can store it in their Garage

Or get them to block it in with another car.......... or 4

mate i can offer you a safe driveway to park it in very close to the maclean hotel , about 15 mins from yamba - the missus lives there and we would happily let you park it there if you need to keep an eye on it, or for a small fee i can get it locked in the panelbeaters yard across the road overnight - fenced lockup yard etc

I think its a bit silly to be advertising on the web of where your car will be left unattended.
