Hervey Bay

After spending the morning at KB resort we boarded the early afternoon ferry back to Hervey Bay. It was raining heavily as we left the island and as we arrived back on the mainland. Thankfully by the time we arrived back at our campsite the rain was lighter. We quickly put up the first part of the tent but did not bother with the awning. We cooked and ate in the camp kitchen as the rain lashed down once again. There were many frogs jumping around on the waterlogged grass next to the kitchen. We chatted to a french family who were also sheltering from the weather. They told us they are away from home for 6 months touring with their 2 children- 1 month in Australia, then onto the Philippines and Thailand.
We awoke the next day to light rain, but thankfully the skies cleared and the sun appeared. We walked along the esplanade from Torquay (where we were staying) to Urangan. A 10km return walk. We were expecting to see 2 beachside markets on our walk, but each consisted of 3 or 4 stalls only. Maybe the weather had put some stallholders off. We spent the afternoon back on site catching up with emails, whatsapp calls to family and blog writing.
Tomorrow we move onto Noosa Habitat, one of our favourite spots on the east coast.Læs mere
