Baby sand skipper in the shallows at low tide.

Waking up at Clairview, parked on the beach.

Looking at Great Keppel Island from Yeppoon. It doesn’t look far! 30 minute ride by fast cat. 25 minutes too slow for Chez.





Can anyone else see the angel?

Thousands of sand balls in interesting patterns (thanks to the crabs) along the beach at Keppel.

Baby stingray in the shallows.

Chez actually went in the water.





Looking across to Middle Island from Keppel.


Stinky bats at Yeppoon. Hundreds of them hanging in the mangrove trees.

A little late for Anzac celebrations, but would have been an amazing sight on the day.

Stopped for lunch at The Criterion Hotel. Rumour has it Queen Elizabeth was here but she must have left before we got there. So on to Customs House.

Customs House.



Overnight stop at Lake Monduran. We found Kermit in the power box!
Fun day at Bauple with Gary, Maree (Chez’s cousins) & Jason. Thanks Gary & Maree see you Saturday.



Now whose is whose?



Jason with his arm around Maree.

Colourful parrot.

Kookaburra sits on the old gum tree, merry merry king of the bush is he …………… (Actually waiting to be fed).

One of a flock of black cockatoos.
Blue crabs, pelican and Urangan Pier at low tide.




Amazing strangler fig tree at Hervey Bay market.



Garry & Maree (cousins) preparing lunch back at the van after a morning at the market. Thanks Garry & Maree.



Some of the 100 or so cars in an exhibition drive on Saturday afternoon. Cheryl is going to buy the red and white one. (And she said that there are enough car photos).
On way to Hervey Bay, lunch stopover at Gympie to check out the new “swans” recruits.


Dinner with Cheryl’s cousins June and Sandy.

Saw these amazing guys who wash the clothes of homeless people for free.

Last night in Tweed Heads.

Went on a day trip to Mt Tamborine. Had morning coffee and cake at a Chilean restaurant.


Found this amazing lion made from chicken wire. Would have bought him but couldn’t get him into the car.

Went for a walk along the Skywalk, a treetop walk in the rainforest.







Some plant life.





Lunch at Emerald Beach, wonder what the poor people are doing? On to Tweed Heads tomorrow.
