On the way to Seventeen Seventy…


Our trusty flamingos that guard our tent while we are out
 and light the way when we stumble home trying to work out which tent is ours! xxx

We packed up the tent at Hervey Bay in the morning when it wasn’t raining, after it drizzling all night. So because the tent was a little damp I was paranoid about our bed getting damp too, so layed out plastic, towels etc ontop of the bed before we packed up…we packed it up pretty quick and were pretty impressed with ourselves..then realised we forgot to put the foam mats under the bag…easily fixed..unzipped and popped them in…then….

George: “Hey Sherii, where are the keys we have to return to the caravan park and the keys to lock the trailer?”

Sherii: “In the pouch near the front door of the tent….”

George: “The tent that we just packed up on the trailer??”

Sherii: “Yup….”

Luckily we could squeeze in through the door we had thankfully left open, leaving the tent on the trailer and slide our hands down to the pouch..which also had the pad locks to lock the trailer also..

Lesson learned…hopefully…

I tried my hand at reversing up to the trailer to hitch it on…rain was just starting… sitting in the car wondering why George is taking so long hitching it up…George comes back saturated as the rain was getting pretty heavy by now…wondering why I didn’t help him… <no need for us both to get wet> hahaha…
Goodbye Hervey Bay


Finally on our way, with the rain pretty full on, we popped by the Snakes Downunder Reptile Park at Childers…was raining but the nice ladies put on a show for all of us…(us being: George and I and a family of 5!)
someone forgot to tell this guy he is a lizard not a monkey

George loves Snakes! ahahahha

Weather was supposed to be a little clearer further north than we were planning so we kept going up towards 1770…last turn off at Miriam Vale we see a big sign

 1770 FESTIVAL THIS WEEKEND

Awesome! But damn, we hadn’t booked anywhere…so we called the caravan park in our cheap park book and he had accommodation so we headed there…Turns out he was the only one that had spaces left!
