Maroochydore

We packed up early and travelled down the road to the Big 4 site at Maroochydore. Our pitch was available as we arrived, so we were all set up again by 11.30am.
After lunch we walked along the river to the river heads. At this point lies the Cotton Tree camp site, which is where we were when we decided to flee back to England due to the developing Covid crisis back in 2020.
It was the start of the Easter school holidays and the site was very very busy, everybody shoehorned in on the beach side sites. We walked through the site to the beach and had a look at some of the beach stores, prior to wandering back to base.
In the evening we drove to Mooloolaba where we were looking forward to a fish platter on The Wharf. We had seen the Prawn Star restaurant advertised and the locals gave it a high recommendation. The restaurant occupies two old fishing vessels on the dock side. The sea food platter was delicious, served with good beer and wine.
On Sunday Jamie, Renee and the girls came to join us. We pitched their tent next to ours, then spent a couple of hours on the beach at Mooloolaba to enjoy the waves. After an evening bbq J and R returned to Brizzie. We were looking forward to spending 5 days with the girls allowing their parents to work unhindered.
A fabulous week with our 3 granddaughters. We returned to the beach on Monday, after walking trip on the boardwalk in the local swamp, much to the delight of the midgies and mosquitos. We enjoyed the waves once again and explored the area's Op shops (charity shops to us). The girls very adept at finding real bargains.
On Tuesday we visited Amazeworld, which we all enjoyed greatly. Comedy moments watching people getting lost in the hedge maze. The puzzles were good for the older girls and Summer enjoyed joining in when she could. She particularly enjoyed the rope tangle.Läs mer
