Bargara Beach

We left Seaforth on Wednesday and travelled south, stopping for the night at a free camp at Calliope. Once we were set up we went for a walk to stretch our legs after the long day in the car, we had driven over 400klms. Had not ventured very far in our walk when we a see a familiar motor home coming down the hill into the camp ground, it was Dennis and Lynn who had left Seaforth two day's earlier, have now given them the Stalker title. We enjoyed yet another happy hour together and realised that they would also be staying at Bargara for the next couple of nights, where they were catching up with their friends Helen &; Vince. We also realised that we knew Helen & Vince from when we were at Bargara last year and that our friends Pauline & Les who we left in Cairns  know Helen & Vince from when they lived in Ulverstone, such a small world.

We arrived at Bargara Beach around lunch time Thursday after a stop at the Bundaburg Botanical Gardens Cafe for a drink and to share a Vanilla Slice. We were looking forward to catching up with our neighbours Sue & Mike as we knew they would be there when we arrived. Unfortunately they had news that Mikes father was unwell and were leaving the next day to get back to Tassie quickly, we did get to enjoy a lovely evening with them at a local restaurant and hope they are travelling safe and things are OK at home.

Yesterday we again said our goodbyes to Dennis and Lynn , who are now making a big effort to head south to catch that boat, no more stalking !

A very large happy hour was held last night up near Helen & Vince's caravan with everyone taking a plate and they even had a fire ! Not the done thing usually in the park, but Vince had found a Webber on the side of the road and sat the base on some rocks and turned it into a fire pot. There were even a few of the permanents there that are friendly with that group of regulars to the park. With some easy listening music supplied by Rob and Disco Laser lights in the trees a very enjoyable evening was had by all.

Tomorrow it is off to the hairdresser for a much needed trim (haircut) feeling very woolly!

I am reading Fifty Shades of Grey on my Kindle did not realise it was such a hot sexy book and was telling some guy today that I was really enjoying reading it, am now a little embarrassed as at that stage had not read the chapter which is very detailed! Must finish this blog now so I can get back to the book.
