Once again as its the school holidays in Queensland we knew we would have trouble finding somewhere to stay.After trying a couple of the caravan parks we could remember from our last visit without any success we eventually found a place at the Harbour lights which was walking distance to the town.
Having set up by 2.30pm we headed out to the supermarket to replenish our supplies and find some fuel for the car.
We had a walk around the town and checked out the best place to watch the state of origin game in the evening.
Having settled on the Grand View Hotel we reserved our table in front of the big screen in the courtyard and enjoyed our fish and calamari and a few schooners and then had to endure a courtyard full of vocal Queenslanders making an awful lot of noise as the game progressed, however there were a few NSW supporters who made their presence known when they scored a try. Of course they were able to stick it to us in the end when they won the game and the series. It was all in good fun though and it was very enjoyable being able to sit outside in the evening warmth to watch the game.
We walked back to our home under a starry night and the glow of the moon feeling quite content though a bit disappointed that we had lost the game. (At least I was)
