Shelley and Damian have been here this last week, they are Tasmanian's from the north of the state, and we met them here at Seaforth 2 years ago and once again it was great to catch up with them. We were out enjoying a meal at the local bowls club when we received a call from another couple, Jill and Graham from Berry S A, we had met them when they were travelling in Tasmania. They said they were just below Mackay so would drop in to see us the next day
Friday we said goodbye to Shelley and Damian and hello to Jill & Graham, while waiting for them to arrive we were going for walk when we saw some more Tassie number plates and struck up a conversation to find out we were chatting with Annette's dad (one of my Dragon friends from my life prior to retirement) Dennis & Lynn from Ulverstone. It was a very enjoyable happy hour for the next couple of nights with J&G leaving Sunday, and before D&L departed on Monday, we went for a lovely Devonshire Tea at the Railway Tea House that's on the way to Halliday National Park.
Sunday we had our names down for a social game of bowls but unfortunately when we rocked up there were no other players. We were a bit disappointed as we had missed out on Fiday's game, as we were expecting Jill & Graham that day. Since our time here was running out we then decided to go for a drive up to St Helen's Beach and check out a free camp inland from Cullen. St Helen's Beach had nothing going for it with mangroves growing all along the foreshore and a very small camp ground, have crossed that one off in the book. We then proceeded out to Boulder Creek and found this to be a beautiful spot where there is a large area to pull into just up from the creek which has lovely fresh running water.
Monday it was off for my last massage with Peter, have had three since being here just hope he is still massaging when we return in a couple of years.
Thanks Shelley for this beautiful picture of Seaforth Beach just had to include it in our blog.
