Burnett Heads

Burnett Heads “Lighthouse” Holiday Park, we decided to stay in a park for the night to dry out the van and us. What a lovely little park on the ocean. We ended up staying for three nights as it was so peaceful sitting under the trees at sunset for happyhoursssss!!. We met a nice couple, Ian & Sandra, also with a Jayco, with whom we shared many a wine or GT. There were some very friendly Magpies in residence who insisted on being fed. Beautiful walks and scenery. Watching the wind surfers and the prolific bird life also took time. Fae got her hair cut and was offered a job teaching the hairdresser how to do waxing!!
I went in and sorted out the repairs on my port cask that we purchased 15 years ago from the same place. It will have to be posted to us when it is fixed."Bugger"
Time to leave came much too quickly and we left in the rain. The further south we went the worse the weather became, we stopped at Childers at a "day only" park and waited to see if the road was to be opened again. Both roads in and out of Childers were closed for a time. I heard on the radio (UHF) that the road was open again so we went for it. There was so much water over the roads and alongside of the highway. We were not game to stop any-where and get held up so we kept going to Broard Water Stopover Caravan park where we are staying for two weeks for our son’s wedding and Xmas. Again the people at this park are very friendly, a small park with all amenities, BBQ’s . Bart showed us to our spot and helped set up, Fae has got here home ready again, with things where they should be, even Misty is settled. And so life goes on, is it time for a beer yet????
