Friday we literally rolled out of Burrum Heads after a fortnight of cream cakes and coffee's, and carrying and extra couple of kilos! We had a very social time in the very friendly park, we certainly were not in a hurry to leave on our last morning, even when there was another caravan waiting to get onto our site and had been there since 8am! We had not planned for an early exit so we did not pull out until 9.30am, they just had to wait we had until 10am to vacate the site. Then we only went a couple of hundred metres to the bakery for our farewell morning tea, finally getting away about 11.15 am to travel the 98klm to Woodgate Beach.
Today is our third day here at Woodgate Beach Caravan Park, we have a very sandy site, the only saving grace is that we have a concrete slab. I think we must be in the most shady part of the park as well as we do not get the sun until around 2pm, so even though we are in QLD it can be quiet cool in the shade. Keeping our fingers crossed for a nice sunny site when we get to Bargara on Monday, as we will be there for a month.
Since being here we have been for a drive to check out the area at the far end of the beach that overlooks the Burrum River and Burrum Heads, we were waving but we were too far away for Maree to see us. Here at Woodgate it is great for cycling with an excellent bike/walking track the length of the beach. Yesterday we rode to the south, stopping in at the local bowls club. The greens looked very fast and we were told they run 17 - 18 there were 90 players registered for Friday afternoon bowls, the start of a full week of a bowls competition. We also saw some of the local wildlife occupying the front lawns helping out with the grass cutting. Later we stopped in at the Serenity Cafe at the park for a bacon and egg burger which we took over to the beach and sat in the sun to enjoy. Today we were once again on our bikes this time heading north along the beach to the boat ramp and the local pub that looked deserted and closed but on closer inspection found that is was open for business. On return to the park we once again visited the Serenity Cafe for our lunch, this time armed with our towels so we could lounge on the sand and soak up some of this gorgeous weather. I did hear a few z's coming from Baz!
You might need to do a bit extra bike riding, considering the number of cream cakes, bakeries, cafes and pubs that have been enjoyed! Good to see you having fun.
