Another lazy day. Changed the bed and washed the dirty sheets. Had to chase the sun around to get them dry. The clothes lines are attached to the side of the ablution block and are in shade by 1pm! Very much the early bird getting the sun here.
After lunch we went out to Ria's again to have one last cuppa and chat. Has been wonderful to see her and Kevin and their neighbours again. Like all good friends we picked up right where we left off 15 years ago and chatted our heads off. Lots of catching up and plenty of news about people we used to know in Para.
Tomorrow is moving day again. No idea yet where we are going, but Bundaberg is only an hour or so up the road. Just been told the plan is to go to 1770 (yes its a town). It is about half an hour north of Bundaberg. Should be a nice easy day's travelling.

Stay at home day today. Bit of rest time. Did the shopping. Went down the road and looked at all the boats in the harbour. All the ferries that go to Fraser Island too. Even went to Bunnings.......
Mother-in-law of youngest child passed away today.....our condolences to all the family.
Last evening and again tonight we sat here in the caravan park and watched millions of fruit bats flying past on their way to their nightly feeding grounds where ever that may be. It was like watching a war movie with millions of planes going overhead! They just kept coming. The line was hundreds of metres wide and the bats passed over us like silent black cloud. Fascinating!!!! No I am not up early enough to watch them coming back to roost for the day where ever that may be either. Hope it is not in the trees directly above our van!
Glad to hear my sisters hubby is home from his stint in CCU at Royal Melbourne Hospital. Time to slow down a bit mate...(pun intended!). You can pick up the pace (maker) in six weeks.....lol.
No plans yet for tomorrow but am sure we will find things to do to fill the day.

Huge day! Up early as always to take my pills then had a bit of a tidy up. Even got the vacuum cleaner out of its hiding place.
Ria & Kevin arrived just before lunch, bringing with them fresh eggs from their own chooks and a hand of ladyfinger bananas......gold. I love bananas but the price right now is really expensive so to be given an entire hand is treasure. I love my bananas as I feel that the potasium in them helps with preventing leg cramps. Big, big thank you.
Then we all went down along the Hervey Bay esplanade to have lunch overlooking the bay. Beautiful. Nice and sunny with a light breeze blowing. Lunch was yummy and the service perfect. Can definately recommend Peppers on the beachfront in Hervey Bay.
Kevin then took us on a full afternoons sightseeing around the district. We went from one bay to the next, even stopped for a nice cold glass of wine/beer at one, saw some truely stunning real estate and finished at Burrum Heads.
Thank you so much to them both for a wonderful day. We are so impressed with the scenery and weather that we have booked for another few days.

Well we finally left Caloundra.
Our thanks to the family for an awesome time. We really enjoyed our stay and will be back.
On the way out we popped in to visit our friends from Moree, the ones with the lovely little Jack Russell.
He fitted a gas bayonet for us and we fitted a new set of stabilizer legs for him (no I mean for his caravan!).
We continued on our merry way, stopping here and there, and finally ended up in Hervey Bay. First up was a quick hello to an old friend, yep, been out to Ria's place and drank gallons of tea playing catch up with her and her hubby and her best friend who also moved here from Para. Tomorrow they are coming into town and we are doing lunch and a bit of sightseeing.
Note to self: tomorrow make sure I see the ocean which I believe is somewhere around here.........
