We headed up to Woodgate Beach, we had helped mum and dad, but we had very itchy feet and felt as if we still had so much unfinished business, so we packed up the camper and hit the blacktop again and headed up to Woodgate Beach to relax before heading home.
We explored around the campground and then off down to Walkers Creek. It was times like this that I wish we had a canoe, it would have been fantastic to paddle up the river. Was so calm and perfect weather for it too. It looked so inviting, but to many sharks and jellyfish to actually dive in and have a swim.
We explored Woodgate township. It was really beautiful to see that a family had taken the time to write a sign on the beach using shells, rocks and red roses wishing their mum a happy 80th birthday. I know it made me feel really special and would have loved it if my kids had done something like that for me. Felt very blessed to have been there to witness it.
We headed up the coast to the creek and James went off to do a geocache whilst Rena and I explored the picnic area.
We also went in to Bundaberg one day to have a look around and get some fresh food. I have been chasing some wool to finish a project I have been doing, but I have been to 3 spotlights now and looks like I will have to pull it apart and start again as I can no longer get the same wool :(
We headed to the river and sat by it whilst having lunch, after lunch we had a drive around to see what damage we could still see from the floods earlier in the year. Was good to see that there wasnt much damage you could see.
One night we had a storm roll in just as I was cooking dinner, just finished cooking, had sat down to eat and the storm hit us, hail, heavy rain and wind.
We all ended up inside the camper with lightning hitting all around us and hail and heavy rain. Not a good feeling sitting inside a canvas camper whilst lightning was striking all around you. Luckily it was only pea size hail.
Once it had passed we had water in our annex up past our ankles so we had to dig trenches to get the water the drain away. We had fun playing in the water, was still hot and muggy, but at least we could get wet.
Was a very hot and muggy night that one, no air conditioning in the camper, so all windows open that night. Luckily our closest neighbours had moved on that morning.
The rest of the time was spent resting and relaxing, will be flat out once we get home for a while, so time to rest as much as we can before the bedlam starts.
