Monday 24th May
30 Minutes north of Hervey Bay lies the peaceful village of Burrum Heads,
we read in the local tourist guide.Going on to say ' a relaxed atmosphere, fantastic climate ,great fishing and clean safe beaches make it an ideal place to escape the hustle and bustle of busy city life'. It was all true, a very sleepy place though brought to some life by the over flowing caravan park full of grey nomads with their tinnies and fishing rods. We walked out on to the beach which stretched for miles as a result of the tide being way out with the channel into the Burrum River reduced to a very narrow strip, which was busy with the tinnies making their way in and out along with the kayaks. Numerous people stretched out by the waters edge plying their rods in the hope of catching something. As we walked along the beach we didn't find anyone that had had any success.
We had our coffee sitting under the trees and read the newspapers feeling very relaxed and getting into the atmosphere of the place.
We made our way back to Hervey Bay and the necessary visit to the supermarket to stock up on some of the basic food items which would keep us going for a few days.
With that we returned to our base for a bit of reading and writing.
Tomorrow we will probably pack up and head north to Bundaberg which we didn't visit on our trip last year. We'll wait and see what the weather is doing as rain has been predicted
