Bargara cont:

Wow! Three weeks have gone since we first pulled into Bargara Beach Caravan Park, we have less than a week left as we leave next Monday. Unfortunately we have been unwell with this QLD virus, we have been coughing and spluttering for two weeks now! So over it!!! At least we have been having nice mild winter days usually around the 23 degrees every day, but we have been experiencing some wind or stiff breeze here on the coast.
We have not got a lot to report other than our daily walks and rides, relaxing on the beach enjoying the vitamin D,  otherwise just the everyday chores that you still have to do only on a smaller scale than at home.  The Cane to Coral Fun Run was held a couple of weeks ago with the finish line just opposite the caravan park, it did make things pretty busy on the waterfront for a few hours. Every Sunday we head into Bundaberg to the Shalom College market where we are able to buy our weeks supply of very fresh fruit and veggies. Managed a couple of games of bowls when we first arrived then the virus hit so have not been back.
Our friends Sue and Tony from Brisbane arrived on Monday and are here for the week, they recently took delivery of their lovely new Lotus Freelander Caravan and have been looking forward to spending some quality time in it. It has been great catching up but the time is going much too fast. Sue and Tony have their six year old granddaughter Yasmine from China with them, she is staying with them for a few months and attending school in Brisbane to improve her English. Tony's friends from Deloraine John and Marg arrived yesterday so at Happy Hour  there is much reminiscing of the old Apex days.
It was lovely to see Dennis and Lyn arrive today and to see that they have been travelling safely and that their Motor Home has been chugging along nicely since leaving Ulverstone. It is a pity that they brought the rain with them. I can't believe that when sitting outside earlier that I was wearing my thermal top, vest and a scarf wrapped around my neck, I have never been this cold in QLD before! Checking Weatherzone it said that the temperature was 16.9 but I am sure that it felt more like 8 degrees!  We are now nice and cosy in the van listening to a steady down pour, the forecast is for somewhere between 25 - 70 ml great for the area as Southern Qld has been declared officially in drought, everywhere is so very dry and dusty.
