Here We Go Again – Chapter 10 – Hervey Bay Day 3 (Fraser Island)
Amazing creeks and coloured sands are experienced, as are the forays off the beach and into the bush to circumvent the need to drive into the ocean around rocky outcrops.
On the road again with Silver Leader, his wife Rose and Forbsy. A slightly different plan this time, with much less time constraints but with plenty of unexpected issues like Covid. Forbsy needs to be home early but will be with us up the east coast. Thankfully we have Silver Leader with his administrative skills to work us through the over booked caravan parks and weather of indifference. In time we will part from them too but for now its three vans off again on a adventure around Australia

Time to go home and dine. Not fish, but the fillet steaks we have in the fridge. Always good to have a back up plan.
Now pleasantly plied with liquor, its off to the gift shop. The liqueur is the first on Robyn’s list along with some fudge.
Forbsy allows a trip along Banks Drive to video the experience.
I was hoping to spend some time fishing with Darryl but now with the loss of the days, this may not happen.
Its getting dark and the rancid prawns are done, time to clean the fish – yes Silver Leader there are four to clean – and head home.
The dual laned highway finished abruptly and for no apparent reason other than the money ran out, and we are back to single lane road.
This is my family – we achieve because we have to.
Back at the van I am shown the shower before being able to put my head on my pillow and fall asleep.
Into the hills we drive, eventually entering the great pine forests of the area, where the bitumen gives way to gravel, well almost.
