Day 4. Bundaberg. 2.5.26

This morning we went for a short ride on the turtle pathway, ~10kms, before packing up the van. 



As we only had 16 kms to travel we had a coffee at the surf life savers club opposite the van park when we were ready to leave.

We're staying at the CMCA park in Bundy,  only $7 a night. There's no toilets or power available but we have our own. It's been very windy since we left home and Bundy is no different. We had a shower of rain while trying to set up.

Walked across to Hinkler shopping centre then went to visit Luke's parents, Shirley and Rodney, for a coffee catch up.
We had a very delicious roast dinner around the fire with Melissa, Luke and the gkids and a couple of their friends, Debra & Jason.

Day 1. Tiaro 8.2.26

Image
We're heading down Brisbane way for 4 nights and decided to leave a day early and stop the night in Tiaro. After setting up we had a little wander around and dinner at the Royal hotel. Food was very good and plentiful.  We  took the long way home to walk off a couple of calories.  The free camp isn't far from the Hwy but any road noise didn't keep us awake. Set up for the night. To avoid un-hitching the van end is hanging over a dry water channel. View of the free camp from the pub dining room.  Bit late but Merry Christmas 🤶  Travelled 64kms and the temperature dropped from 32° to 18° overnight.

Day 2. Thornside, Brisbane area 9.2.26

Image
After a little wander to get a coffee we packed up and departed early-ish as neither of us were hungry after last night's meal. We drove to wild horse mountain and shared a beautiful wrap and had really delicious freshly made juices for brunch from Kebab Coast. Set up and having a cuppa just after midday at Thornside Mobile Park. $60 per night with power, water, full amenities and a pool that was a welcome relief from the heat. Went for a ride out to Wellington Point.  Lovely flowers outside the vans door.  Today's top temperature was 29.5°, it felt hotter than that. We rode 22kms, using footpaths, cycle lanes and the Moreton Bay cycle way.

Day 3. Thornside 10.2.26

A warm night, the temperature only dropped to 23. 1°. Went exploring on the bikes. Beautiful cycle way all the way out to Lytton, via Lota, Manly and Wynnum, 30km. Trail through bushland in Lota. Manly harbour.  Manly pool. Perfect spot for a coffee break on the return journey in Wynnum.  We weren't even home for an hour before we decided to jump on the bikes again and ride out to Indigiscape, a native Botanical gardens, and the Bush Cafe for a light lunch, 25kms. Lots of short tracks. Giant Tallowood tree. Wetlands.  The ride home got a bit hot as the sun finally decided to come out. A paddle in the pool for half an hour soon cooled us down. We have ridden 55kms today. Top temp was 31.3°
