Drove over to Rainbow Beach and did a short walk through the forest to see the huge sand dunes nearby. Rosie was very excited to run down them and Poppy loved sitting and playing in the sand. Beautiful views from the top of the tunes down to the sea. And cool to see how the dunes dropped off into the forest behind. Didn't want to get too close though as it looked like the sand could slip down under your feet it was so steep!
Our place at Hervey Bay had lovely views of the sunset over the marina. We walked to the 1km long pier with Rosie riding on her bike. Got dinner up there and an ice cream for the ride home.
The next day we went to see the river mouth where the ferry goes to Kgari island. We saw Pelicans flying over, a couple of pods of dolphins, sea eagles (we think) and a couple of turtles right next to us. Rosie was very excitedly shouting "I see them!" when we pointed out the dolphins.
Popped over to the Botanic Gardens at Hervey Bay afterwards. Rosie rode her bike around and we watched the terrapins in the pond and they watched us too. Think they must get fed! Visited the Orchid House which had so many different interesting orchids. Rosie made friends with a little girl in the play area. She let Rosie wear her headband and Rosie was over the moon. They ran around doing hide and seek and rocking the wobbly bridge.
Went to the beach for a play after. Rosie made a boat sandcastle with grandad and decorated it with shells whilst Poppy and I had a nap in the car. Poppy played with grandma on the beach when she woke up.
Rosie rode her bike along the beach and all the way up and down the pier. We saw lots of people fishing and schools of little fish in the water. Pelicans sat on the lamposts near the end, waiting to steal some dinner.
The next day Matt and I had a run together in the morning whilst the G&G looked after the girls which was really lovely. Took Rosie to Toogoom Bike Trail but the skills track was quite stony and tricky. Tried the kids trail instead but she decided she wanted to have a stick to get rid of spiders' webs instead! I kept getting spooked by butterflies appearing from the dry leaves thinking it could be a snake 🙈
Had a nice lunch at Toogoom and a walk over the river to the beach for a play.Leia mais
