Hervey Bay QLD

Thursday 11th July

Today we left Elliot Heads and travelled south to Hervey Bay. We had booked ahead into Pilbra beachside Caravan Park which was next to the free water park but sadly was closed for maintenance. 

Great park right on the beach with what looked like new amenities with a huge family bathroom. The boys love staying at parks that have family bathrooms as it usually means they can have a bath.

We spent the morning doing some shopping and having a look around town. After lunch out we came home and put A to bed while J and I explored the beach and found a big crab shell which J happily poses with and has kept as a treasure from his time in Hervey Bay

Saturday 13th July

We decided that with 14kms of path around the foreshore it was an excellent time for J to loose his training wheels. So after a quick session around the park he was off and flying and rode down to Scarness (with us yelling behind to slow down) for morning tea. 

It was good to have some slow days and not do a lot of sight seeing. We would have loved to be here in whale watching season but as I've already said we need to leave things to do for when we travel again.
