Day 16

 

 

I don't think I've ever camped in a prettier place - well done Dennis and Geraldine

That was my spot on Monday night and I could have stayed longer but when I checked my diary I found I'd booked a site at Smalleys Beach in the Cape Hillsborough National Park from Friday so if I was to spend time with Ray and Jeanette at Point Vernon I had to leave. Former neighbour Ray lives near North Arm and was coming to see me but unfortunately my early departure  prevented that and we had to be content with a nice long phone chat - maybe next year Ray.

It was an easy drive to Hervey Bay despite the ever present roadworks and I was parked on the lawn by 12.30.

Yemmy blends well with Ray and Jeanette's lovely white home

 Ray and Jeanette have both had health issues - Ray with a very bad viral thing that laid him low for quite a few weeks and Jeanette is recovering well from a hip replacement. It was so great to see them again and we sat up yarning after dinner till after midnight!
