Day 7: Tue 23 Feb - Burrum Heads

Prior to going to bed last night we dragged our little electric fan heater out of the cupboard and put it on fan only. Whilst it was noisy, it did circulate the air and made the night somewhat bearable.  So, seeing as though we survived the night, and it was reported to be one of the hottest for a while, we decided to stay until our original departure day of Fri.

Greg went for a ride and Wendy went for a short walk.

Whilst Greg went and socialised with his cousin, Wendy worked. Greg then invited Ian and Carol over for mornos, so Wendy had to interrupt her work for a while as we did have a bit of a long chat.

We rested during the ehat of the day then went over to I&C for afternoon drinks and another long chat. We were going to go to the pub for dinner, however, the kitchen is not open on Mon and Tue. So, tomorrow night it is, amd then again on Thu with the traditional Thursday night pub group.

Day 6: Bargara to Burrum Heads via Home, 128k

Went for an ear.y morning ride with Mark and Sue to Burnett Heads. Rode through a lot of mist, but sun was up and shining brightly by the time we returned.

Had breakfast, packed up and left just after 9am heading for home to do a bit of watering. When we got home, it was obvious we’d had no rain because the grass was all brown and crispy and the trees were stressing badly. 

Arrived at Burrum Heads just after 1pm and set up on #103. Had lunch then a little rest. 

Went for a walk to find Ian and Carol who are here for 2 weeks; found them and stayed and had a drink with them and returned to the van about 5pm.

Forgot to mention in yesterday’s post that our Cavan Aircon is on the blink! Last night we were almost broiled in our own sweat. And today, it was 38deg at home before we left for BH! We ar supposed to be here for four nights, but will re-assess in the morning after the heat overnight. Greg says he will stay no matter what, but Wendy may leave and stay at home.

Thank you Mark and Sue and Gunther and Yvonne for your company over the last 4-5 days. Until next we meet in the great outdoors in our houses on wheels.

Day 5: Sun 21 Feb - Bargara

After breakfast we thought we’d try and ride to Elliot Heads to watch the beach volleyball competition. Alas we came up a few km short as they have still not made a decent walking/bike track nor fixed the main rod in to include a verge. And, as everyone, in their fast cars, were also heading to EH, we decided to be sensible and head for home. 36km and we were home for a well deserved coffee and muesli bar each.

Greg went out again in the afternoon on foot to Woolies for a few resupplies.

Had dinner with Mark and Sue (Gunther and Yvonne left this morning) in the camp kitchen followed by after dinner drinks at ours.
