Hervey Bay

Carl headed off to work at 7.30am and we were on the road by 9.30am. It was a 2 1/2 hour drive to Hervey Bay along a dangerous section of the Bruce Hwy because of all the trucks. We called into the Info Centre just out of the main town and got the low down on the local caravan parks. We settled on the Beachfront Tourist Park in Torquay and scored a site with bay views for 2 nights. It was a sunny afternoon and the huge sandy bay looked gorgeous. As Carl warned us Hervey Bay is known as "Heaven's waiting room" but our neighbors were very friendly unlike the oldies at Bribie Island. We got talking to Ken and he gave us some of his recent catch of whiting - dinner sorted! After setting up we had some lunch and I did some washing. Rick and Cooper went for a bike ride along the esplanade and Caitlin was happy doing some drawing. Caitlin & Cooper met the kids camped near us - Anabelle and Harry and enjoyed playing with them at the beach. We watched the sunset before cooking the whiting for dinner.
