Trip to Queensland October 2008

---

Today we departed on a trip to Queensland to visit our son Michael. We drove for a few hours arriving at my sister, Rosies at about 11am. Rosie lives near Taree at a town called Old Bar. She and Rick have made some lovely changes to their home and garden. At about 2pm we headed north to Kempsey, our first stopover on our journey to Queensland. The Kempsey Tourist Village is situated on the Pacific Highway so it was a very convenient place to pull in for the night. We arrived at around 4pm. While we were there the fire brigade was called as one of the on-site vans was on fire. It turned out that the 24yr old occupant had lit the fire in the van and gone over to the amenities block to watch the van burn. He was later arrested by the local police.

Our van site at Kempsey
Meg was very pleased that we had an ensuite site tonight and Steve was pleased that we were able to get a drive through site as we didn't have to unhitch the van.

Aviary
The van park is on numerous acres and has a big bird aviary and there are hens and chickens roaming around.
