Beautiful Queensland

Howdy Partners,

Ahhh, it has been fantastic to hit the magnificent state of Queensland and nice also to finally have some internet access to leave you all green with envy on what we have been doing.

After all the thrills of the theme parks we headed further north to a little town called Bli Bli. We headed into the local caravan park and were very fortunate to be placed with all the permanent residence. I felt like I was sitting in a Collingwood cheer squad. Although the interesting locals and a very run down caravan park Ryley and I did have minimal success with our Barra fishing. Ry was lucky enough to score his first Barra a nice little 35cm Barra, whilst I am still waiting, however, I did manage a 47cm Jew fish. The area surrounding Bli Bli has some great spots and the town of Eumundi is converted into a market on Wednesday's and Sunday's. When I say the town is converted into a market, this is literally. A massive market full of great treats and a variety of interesting and talented characters.

From Bli Bli we went to free stay camp spot at Tiaro. We tried the stay in town  centre with everyone cramed in like sardines, so we headed to the other spot, Petrie Park on the Mary River and it was a sensational spot. Meet some great Nomads who steered us on the right path moving forward. It was great to be out in absolute peace and quite, except for a noisy snorer who luckily moved on after the first night.

After a relaxing stay at Petrie Park we heard about Agnes Waters and Seventeen Seventy so we thought we would go and have a look and it was a fantastic decision. The only drawback was we couldn't get a spot in the amazing Agnes Waters Caravan Park which is literally right on the surf beach, so we headed to Discovery Coast CP about 6km out of town. It was a nice spot but I kept thinking how great it would be right in town. It mattered little as we spent our days relaxing on the beach at Agnes Waters, having a surf, body board or casual swim.

Further up the coast we found another gem of a spot a Clairview. The caravan park was a rustic gem and the tides were absolutely amazing. At low tide you can walk out about 500 metres and at high tide you have water at your back step. The locals were a blast and we enjoyed relaxing around the parks big camp fire and having a few frothies with some diehard drinkers.

Really looking forward to heading up to Mackay and catching up with Eddie and his family. I thinkk we are already to enjoy a couple of creature comforts.

Catch ya,
Pentz
