1770

My football related temper is no better after the last post. Couldn’t find AFL on the radio & the Bombers were again useless. Aside from that things are pretty good. In the couple of days we were at Burrum River we visited Burrum Heads, Hervey Bay & some little spots in between. We fished in the Burrum River & Phil got a couple of eels but nothing else. Considering the weather, which was pretty crappy, Burrum River Caravan Park is well worth a visit. The staff were great & the few people that ventured out into the rain were friendly & gave some good travel tips.

The last three nights were spent at 1770. All I can say is AWESOME! We got a spot right on the beach – by right on the beach I mean high tide was within literal spitting distance of my tent. I don’t quite know what to say except it was pretty & perfect in almost every way. The only exception is that we couldn’t catch decent fish. On the bright side I actually caught my first two fish of the trip to break the hoodoo. A pair of tiny flathead! Nath caught a really good Bream (that we ate) & there were a few small Whiting. Suz & Kathleen found the best bar/cafe & had a cocktail or two while Phil & I had the kids. I must admit I was very jealous! Great beaches & a decent drive on a 4WD track rounded off a terrific stay.

We have tonight arrived at Airlie Beach at 6.15pm odd. Another night set up but Kathleen, Phil & Jen beat us by ½ an hour or so & got us a pair of great sites. The trip was 717km & the kids were great.
