On Saturday, after a 12 hour sleep (much needed after a night spent in hospital where sleep was almost impossible) Karen was feeling fine - so we set off on our trip in the afternoon after some morning re-stocking with food and drink at the local mall.
We stayed at the Cobb and Co site which is an open woodland location to the south east of the city of Gympie. The Cobb family opened up the area in the 19th century and started the first tourism to these parts through their coach company amongst other enterprises.
The camp site was great and the girls enjoyed the freedom to cycle through the park and to play in the billabong, the rope swings were a great success once the initial fears were overcome.
The campsite owner's train ride antics were great fun for the children but a broken ankle for the owner waiting to happen, as he leapt from carriage to carriage as the train rattled over rough ground.
We enjoyed some great chicken and lamb bbqs. The purchase of a fire pit gave the girls the opportunity to melt some marshmallows, inventing some new tasty treats with biscuits along the way.もっと詳しく
