Wednesday...22 June 2011

Had a bit of sleep between trains. Where we parked last night was by accident right next to one of the busiest railway lines in Queensland! We tried to get a berth at the local caravan park but it was full so we parked up in a free camp area down the road a bit. Lots of company and the scenery was stunning. Had the Great Barrier Reef right outside the door. And Qld rail right behind our bed.......
But of course there is always a negative and we found that after we had made camp. Never mind it did let up a bit from midnight to crack of dawn!
Sunrise over the Coral Sea would have been fantastic, if I had not crawled back into bed after the first train of the day and stay there until the second train........
Travelled a couple of hours up the road to Mackay today.
Same little park we were in last year. Different part of it. Shame really as the back paddock of last year was open space and flat as a pancake. The proper site we have this year is not a bar on it, but they are doing stuff to the back paddock as they need to genuinely expand their park.
Still we seem to have found sunny Qld. Todays temp was 25c, very nice. Still a bit cool overnight but warm during the day so we will stay a few days here.
When we get our personal needs and the washing done etc, I shall call the two cousins I have here and play catch up again.
Tomorrow is Mackay show day and most of the shops are closing. Show day holiday and the start of the Qld school holidays too.......how exciting!
