Day 7 Popular Freebies Overcrowded and a Short Trip Home on Day 8
Day 7 and we set off from Marlboro Hotel and drove around Gladstone to view the city (ho hum) from there we drove to Boyne River for lunch and were hoping to do a free overnight stay BUT the free campsite was overcrowded ! Annie dragged me off down a mountainside to view the fast flowing (but low )Boyne River, still had lunch there when a bloke asked if I had been to Birdsville Races 18 months ago (I had!) he said he recognised me by my voice (Compliment or not? ) And we had a good yarn about the good old days Having no joy at the site we drove onto the Bucca Hotel (wedding was in full flow) and have opted to stay the night in beautiful country surrounds NO houses just this pub !! We are currently about 150 kms from home and we will have a look around Bundaberg tomorrow .The night was very well lit courtesy of the full moon hhoooowwwwwlllllllll having electrical power (costing $10)
enabling us to make quick cuppa’s and watch a couple of movies
Day 8..Quick pack up and the weather is gorgeous with morning dew making the scenery all the more breath taking Next stop Bundaberg home of the aptly named Bundaberg Rum and a quick look about and moved on towards home as we have visited Bundy a few times.On the way back we sighted lots of old hot rods that had been on show in Hervey Bay !! and its straight home for us and almost had a run in with a lorry who almost squashed as I tried to overtake!! Bus put away safely and that ends this short exciting trip having stayed at some great spots……More to come in later months as we head overseas
