Cooroy


Arrived at the caravan storage yard right on opening time 9am to pick up the van, then it was on the road to Cooroy.

Poor Kenny (Tom Tom) was very confused as we were travelling towards the Sunshine Coast, as there has been some new Hwy sections opened since he was last updated, so he certainly was having a hissy fit !

We arrived here at Elaine & Robs property about 2.30 this afternoon, lovely lush grassy area for us to camp in. Alison and David have already got the fire going for us to sit around so had better get my jacket on now, as the day is certainly cooling down, and join the others at the fire.

Off off and away again- Gold Coast







We were farwelled by Jack Frost on Tuesday morning as we were leaving Tassy to fly to Coolongatta. We arrived to a nice 22 deg temperature and were picked up by our friends and taken back to their unit at Emerald Lakes. That night we went out for dinner at an Indian restaurant which was first class.



Today we went for a drive up through the Gold Coast drag and out to Southport and brought some prawns from a trawler to have for dinner tonight. In the afternoon Denise and I went for a drive to look at some boats (dreaming) and then to Harbour Town for some retail therapy, and back to the French Quarter at Emerald Lakes for a coffee and hot chocolate at a nice restaurant by the water.



Tomorrow we will collect our caravan and head up with our friends with their van to Cooroy for a few days at friends property, and from there we will resume our trip to Longreach etc.
