Torquay beach, Hervey Bay

We’re staying at Hervey Bay, on a pitch with Matty facing directly to the ocean. So it’s a shame it’s raining today 😂

Our options here are whale watching and Fraser Island…….the latter is booked out, so whale watching it is, tomorrow afternoon.

We’ve been on the go quite a lot over the last few days (being on holiday is hard work!!) so the excuse of rain has allowed us a slower day, pottering around the area and forward booking our accom next week.

Camping in the rain brings some challenges - everything feels damp, and a pile of soggy shoes lurk miserably at the door. Also, rookie error, we didn’t realise it was going to rain so much, and completely forgot our outdoor chairs were getting wet, and have little chance of drying at the mo!

Our next door neighbours are very nice and chatty, and as is often the way in our encounters, they’ve been to the UK, they love the UK (Beer in Devon in particular) and the husband was born in Wiltshire!Read more
