Bargara





Back on Blog again !
Since the last time we updated our Blog we have been home to Tassie to meet a dear little granddaughter Olivia. It was great being home to catch up with family and friends but we were certainly counting down the days until we went back to the warmer weather.
We returned to the Gold Coast on the 29th July spending that night with our friends Alison & David before heading off with them to the Sunshine Coast and back to Cooroy for a few days. While we were there we had a trip up to Maryborough to check out an RV friendly Retirement Village, it was a great set up with some very good facilities. If they had one like it in Tassie I am sure we would be very interested.
We left Cooroy last Thursday and headed further north again to Bargara Beach where we are staying for the next two weeks.
Since being here at Bargara we have had a couple of games of bowls, the rinks sure do take getting used to, as they are very fast ! We certainly do not get to take home any prizes for the most won ends! Hoping that the experience gained will help our game when we return home.
Last weekend was the Cane to Coal fun run that starts at Bundaburg and finishes here at Bargara, there were 500 entrants in the 15klm and 2,500 entrants in the 8klm so big influx of super fit sweaty people(Bazza sure did enjoy the Gym Bunnies), as the finish line was opposite the caravan park. I think Bazza is living a different dream !!
Yesterday we had a visit from Carleen and Rex they are staying at Hervey Bay which is about an 1 hour south of here. It was great to catch up with them and we may do again when we move further down the coast.
The Grey Nomads are easily entertained, as yesterday some tree fellers came into the park to drop a couple of trees that were a bit suspect, after the previous incident when we were last here. The poor guys had people bring their chairs and cameras and were centre of attention all day.
This afternoon we are off to Burnett Heads which is only about 10mins away to catch up with more Tassie people Sue & Mike who also live in our area.
