We have Arrived at Tin Can Bay in QLD!

Howdy everyone!

Well, its been a full couple of days for us. Yesterday we did all our washing that we needed and then took a drive from Hastings Point to Surfers via Tweed Heads and a few other places along the coast. We ended up at Pacific Fair where there was a fun playground that the kids had a go at. Here are the pics

These are the race cars that Pheobe and Maurice had lots of fun on.

So, today we moved on. We have finally arrived at Tin Can Bay. It's a little fishing town that we thought would be nice to explore. We made this decision because when we stopped at Gympie for lunch we went into the information centre and asked the man there whether it was a good place to stop and he said Yes. So here we are and we will most likely head to Hervey Bay when we are done looking here. Apparently we can go feed a dolphin, there is a beach nearby called Rainbow Beach which is popular for visitors, and it's also easy access to Fraser Island. Anyway, we will have some time here to see and do. We had fish n chips for dinner tonight which were pretty good. The man here at the Top Tourist park is familiar with Winch and some of those that live and have lived there. His name is Ian Stevens. A really great bloke who once knew where we came from wanted to chat for ages. He is now calling us the 'Winch Kids'. He did some shearing in his earlier days near Winch and worked for Des Cameron. Anyway, he has been more than helpful to us and I just thought I'd let you all know. If you come this way, this is the place to stay.

The kids here are having a great time on this swing that we found at the Gympie play park!

This is Flick feeding who we named 'Roger Rabbit'. He came to visit us a couple of mornings when we were at Hastings Point Caravan Park. The kids thought he was wonderful, especially when Trent picked him up and let them all feed him!

Maurie having his turn at feeding Roger this morning!

Getting back to travelling today, we took a detour because we saw a sign that said 'The Big Pineapple'. We got rather shattered though because when we got there it was all closed down and you couldn't even drive into the car park that once was!

Anyway, that's all the news for now. Hope everyone is keeping warm and dry, we are!!! The weather is lovely and warm, although it is rather cold at night.

More up-dates soon,

Love Krista Trent Pheobe Maurice & Felicity. xoxoxoxoxo
