Scarborough




We have spent the last couple of days here at Scarborough after travelling 286klm from Hervey Bay. We have already been to Morgan's seafood for our fix of large Tiger Prawns, we made sure we disposed of the bodies well away from our caravan !


Today was a hot and hazy day and we went for a very pleasant bike ride around the foreshore to Redcliffe. Bazza has just said that he thought it was the most enjoyable yet, when the next thing I could hear swearing and cursing coming from behind me, Bazza was being attacked by a dive bombing Magpie. Upon returning to the caravan it was into the tool box to produce some cable ties, only to find that the ones we have on hand are only small ones, not long enough to deter another attack ! Have seen quiet a lot of cyclist supporting cable ties on our travels not expecting we would have to succumb to the same tactics.


A lovely new Cafe has opened up just outside the gates to the park and Bazza has become their chief cheese cake critic, it was a good thing we had had some exercise before today's tasting.

Hervey Bay

After spending a pleasant 8 days at Bargara where we enjoyed a couple of games of bowls, one out at Elliot Heads on Sunday and then on Monday at Bargara. It was also a great place for riding our bikes and spending time at the beach. We will defiantly be going back there next time we travel the east coast and hopefully be able to spend a couple of weeks.
Today we left Bargarga and travelled 130klm to Hervey Bay, where our friends Carlene and Rex are staying at the Big 4 Fraser Lodge Caravan Park. We had an enjoyable happy hour and evening with them & their group of friends, they seem a very social lot !
We are only here at Hervey Bay for the one night and then it is off further south to Redcliffe where we have booked in at Scarborough Caravan Park for four nights. We thought it will be a good location to stay so we can visit our friends Sue and Tony at the weekend.
