Bargara

We have been at Bargara for 9 days now and have settled in quite easily. First day we got stuck into washing all the dust off the car and the outside of the van, the night man duties and of course the washing. We then settled into relax mode, going to the beach, bike riding, short walks, bowls and dining out. We met another couple that had a slide on camper that was just behind us and they were from Bellerive, Graham and Gladys also play bowls for Rosny. We had a lot of acquaintances in common because of bowls, and the fact that Graham had been a Manager at Frogmore Creek and he used to do consultancy work for MyState (Islandstate), both of these places Denise once worked. They were very easy people to get along with and it was sad to see them leave, but that’s caravanning.

We had a short tip out to Woodgate Beach today on the recommendation of several fellow travellers, but it wasn’t what we expected and will not include it on our list of places we will stay at. As the weather today is overcast and a bit cool it probably did not do anything to give us a good impression of Woodgate, I am sure if we returned on a beautiful sunny day the beach would be very inviting.

Once again we have changed our minds! We will not be travelling to Seaforth after returning from our week in Tassie and have booked to come back here to Bargara for 3 weeks to continue where we left off with the RR. It will save us 4 days of travelling up and down the Bruce Hwy and probably 3 tanks of diesel.

We have one more day here before heading to Tin Can Bay for a night and then onto Cooroy where we will leave the van. We will then travel to the Gold Coast to Stay with Alison and David and will do some baby shopping at Harbour Town. We will also have our whooping cough vaccinations as suggested by some very protective parents.
