Dear Family and Friends. Today the temperature has reached 24 degrees and I hope that makes you feel jealous. Life can be hard and as I have heard Ken say someone has to do it. All jokes aside this is a really lovely place and you can see in the pictures just how close we are to the water.





Thursday, we drove up to Maryborough to have a look around and do some shopping and voted. Friday, we drove south again to Gympie as Ken was getting air bags fitted to the car to lift the back end a bit to improve towing. Tomorrow, we are going into Rainbow Beach to see the sands as we have been told that they are very colourful and thus the name Rainbow Beach.



We had a good weekend and spent the couple of days looking out at the activity both on and off the water. The barges went across to the Island non stop and there has been a continual stream of cars on the beach opposite on the island as the 4 X 4 's line up to come back. We have also watched dolphins out in the water playing around as they swim along.



We have had great neighbours. On one side of is Joe and Lyn, they have a motor home and Joe has this little step through bike which he takes into town when he needs water or supplies. Near us are our friends from Orange, Mike and Kath, near them are friends of theirs Bob and Jan, who are really nice. We spent some time with them this morning chatting about travelling experiences, the good , the bad and the funny. Our other close neighbour is Bob whose wife Pat just arrived late this afternoon so we had a quick introduction and no doubt we will see her more tomorrow.



We've had our fire going each night, as do most people and we have sat outside watching the sunset. You are not allowed to use wood off the beach or from inside the camping area so you either have to buy it or go somewhere else to get it.



Today has been washing day and we decided to use the washing machine to see just how much the machine uses per load. It used exactly 40 litres and as we had a spare 40 litres in the car still we were able to put it straight into the tanks, knowing that tomorrow we will be able to refill the containers and have them as spare again.



We have used the Gennie each day around tea time for meal preparation and when ever we needed to top the batteriesup. It's still going at the moment and it's time we turned it off so

thats it for now.

Love Lyn & Ken
