Sunny Qld at last

Hi to all my followers,
Finally I can report Qld has turned on the sun! I can report I am starting a tan, only the front of my legs!, as I sit out in my chair in the sunshine, I only tan on  the front of my legs, definitely not a fashionable look!
I arrived at my caravan park which was really in Tewantin, and was guided into the campsite by a guy who obviously knew his stuff, but of course I have not been directed into a site before, so we had a bit of misunderstanding for a bit! He was saying "right hand down left hand down" etc, and I didn't have a clue what he meant, but it was turn steering wheel etc. When I got my ACT  together I went onto the site in one smooth motion! This was vital as the park, and Noosa, had had 10 inches of rain in the last 10 days, so everything was boggy, huge ruts of mud at the verge of each site. The folk who ignored this guys instructions chewed up the ground more as they backed and forward to get on site. I was 2 inches off the concrete annexe pad when I was parked, Really good. Over the next 10 days I was there I watched this bloke park nearly every one with just one smooth motion.
Luckily the sun started shining the next day and has stayed ever since. I met up with a lady from motorhome rally and we took the Noosa river ferry , up to Noosa heads a beautiful day, you can get on and off at the different stops, the captain was very amusing with his "patter", had some lovely fish for lunch at the yacht club. Looked at the shops at Noosa Heads, same old same old, just twice as expensive! I am getting good, didn't buy anything! She dropped me off at the park and we arranged to go to Eumundi markets together in a few days time! I just veged out, did a lot of sewing and basically enjoyed the sunshine, lots of nice people parked around me in the caravan park, every day it filled up and in the morning different ones moved out. I was able to catch a bus from outside the park up to Tewantin, it was a 40 minute walk, (no thanks), I went by bus to Noosaville, to see a podiatrist as I was having a bit of trouble with my heel, she sorted that out with acupuncture, ouch! but I am walking a lot better now.
I left Noosa behind and headed to Bundaberg to join a solo group of motorhomers to go on a tagalong trip, destination unknown, (to me!) They were a nice bunch, only 5 vans, 4 ladies and a chap. we met at the Botanic gardens and off we went. Stopped the first night at Granite Rest area, quite nice , but very noisy from the traffic, a lot of vans pulled in, and more came in through the night! Then we headed off to Miriamvale and then Calliope. We parked beside the river at a free camp and went to the Calliope markets, they were over sat and sun, big markets, Sunday was the better day, more locals stuff. You need to get into that campsite early on market weekends, we were lucky to get 5 sites near each other. we had a small brazier fire at night. It was freezing! but gorgeous sunny days!The chap left us from there, he had to go North and the next day one of the ladies also parted company as she had  to meet someone. So just 3 of us continued on to Ubobo, a really nice place, The discovery centre, not in  camps books yet, but really well set up. We had access to bathrooms with Hot water, a laundry, free!, and flat screen tv to watch the Olympics!, power $12.00, no power $10.00 I think it was good value, they even gave us a password for the internet! Big problem is no mobile coverage. So that was another lovely couple of days and nights, frost! I then went up to 1770 and Agnes water with one of the ladies, I thought we were going to stay the night, but we just had a look! lovely beach, not as white sand as we have in wa! Then I followed her to her home in South Kolan, her son is a cane farmer and ginger, I am now trying to get someone to fix my roof hatch that has got a problem. So that is all  for now  I will next send from WA as I fly back in 10 days ! Regards
