(WILL TRY TO UPDATE THIS BLOG MID MONTH AND END OF MONTH)
On the afternoon of Thursday 29 April 2010 we left home to start our trip around Australia.
Next day we drove to Elliott Heads near Bundaberg (see campsite below), a lovely little seaside caravan park, right on the beach. Awesome weather every day and Coxy caught a couple of nice flathead. Great spot for long walks and bike rides. We fired up our Cobb oven and cooked a beautiful roast lamb dinner one night (see the delicious photo above) - it was sensational. Yes, we are eating well! Unfortunately I got eaten alive by sandflies one night and I'm still scratching, nasty little critters. We have already met some lovely fellow-travellers, there are so many people out there doing what we are doing, some on a much grander scale in huge motorhomes, some on motorbikes touring the world, and then some on a shoe-string budget sleeping in a tiny tent, it's very interesting observing the extremes. The trouble with staying in a place for one week is that we had to go around and say goodbye to everyone when we left!!
We moved on to check out the picturesque town of 1770 which has spectacular water views and was a landing site of Captain Cook and the crew of the Endeavour. We stayed at nearby Agnes Water Caravan Park, again right on a beautiful beach on which we did a very long walk early Saturday morning and requiring a big breakfast afterwards.
Our next post on this Blog will be at end of this month.
On the afternoon of Thursday 29 April 2010 we left home to start our trip around Australia.
Our first stop was for the night at Shelly Beach Caloundra, a whole one hour drive from home! We had a celebratory drink as we watched a spectacular moon rise over the ocean.
Next day we headed for Cotton Tree Caravan Park at Maroochydore and spent five nights there, sharing the long weekend with our friends Daz, Caz, Jack & Mitch who came to farewell us. Coxy was lucky enough to get the Brisbane double and treble that Saturday and picked up just over $1500 ... that's a lot of Cider! We also had a visit from our friends Mel, Greg, Jack & Matt and caught up with our friend Peta and her children Liam and Baillee. We spent a night at Peta's Buderim home and watched Liam play rugby at his school.
On Thursday 6 May we had one night at Noosa North Shore camping ground (wanted to stay longer but were fully booked out for the weekend).
