We just spent four days in Tannum Sands which is where Keiths youngest brother lives, pretty place, huge shopping centre, heaps of industry, its the residental area for the Boyne Smelter etc, but would you believe it, the blessed place had no mobile phone or internet reception!!! The caravan park was one of the prettiest we have been in, right across the road from the ocean and lots of wildlife inhabits the park from birds to kangaroos to foxes apparently which have been known to steal peoples shoes and towels if they are left outside the caravans overnight, but people were not staying long because of the sandflies and the internet/mobile problems. We also had to hire a special cable to be able to even watch tv. The park is in a really bad black spot when it comes to communications.
It was great to see Johnny and I enjoyed our night out at the local Surf Club for dinner on Friday night. A very pleasant little place to eat with the sound of the waves for company.
Now we are in Bundaberg. One of those places you pass on the highway but this time we turned off and came in to see the famous little town for ourselves. We were up early this morning to follow our noses to the Bundaberg Rum Factory. We took the tour and then went down the road a bit to a coopers and watched them making the barrels for wine and spirits. Very interesting to see how it is done.
