Hervey Bay!

Howdy Everyone!

So, we made it to Hervey Bay on Saturday. We finally managed to get into a Caravan Park, it's called Fraser Lodge Holiday Park. It is a Big 4 Park. We are in a great position, close to everything that we need to use, there is a family bathroom and of course a pool! The sun has been shining pretty much since we have been here, its so lovely.

Our Campsite at Hervey Bay.

 After getting ourselves organised and settled into camp, the kids all had a nap and then we had showers and got ourselves ready for dinner. We met up with one of Trent's friends Hutchie and his wife Linda for dinner, they stay here every year. It was great to see them and have a nice casual dinner with not too much trouble from the kids!!!

Pheobe took this photo of Trent and Hutchie when we were out at dinner!

So, Sunday we spent doing washing and grocery shopping. We also went to the farmers market and check all that out. We also purchased an old highchair from the market, great investment! Flick can now make as much mess as she likes when eating and we aren't having to clean up so much mess everywhere in the van! The chair folds up so we will be able to cart it around with us and when we are finished with it are happy to give it to the salvo's or something.

Today we went Whale Watching, aboard the boat called the Spirit of Hervey Bay. What a fantastic experience! We saw two pods of whales. The first pod played around the boat for at least 45minutes or so. They were almost touchable they were so close. Pheobe and Maurice were so excited by this because they could see them so closely. The second pod we saw from just a small distance because they were twisting and turning, flapping their HUGE fins into the water and then breaching! They were amazing to watch and again Pheobe and Maurice were very excited. Felicity was a little shocked when she saw the first pod so close, but she managed a sleep and missed out on the second pod. This was only a half day cruise that we took but you could spend all day watching these wonderful animals! Trent and I would love to come and see them again when we have no kids so that we don't have to watch the kids so closely for 'man over board'.

Anyway, it was a great time had by all of us and something that we will never forget.

I will post some pic's once I have downloaded them.

Hope you are all well,

Love the Guye Gang!

P.S. Happy Birthday to Aunty Mel. Hope you are having a great day!
