Arrived at Gin Gin about 11 o'clock. We were having a cup of tea with Nola and Trevor, when Nola saw a man walking very quickly up to their van and it turned out to be Francis. He and Lorraine had just arrived a bit before us and he just happened to notice our bus. We had thought that we wouldn't catch up again.
Trevor is a keen surfer so we have decided to go to Agnes Water. We thought that we wouldn't be able to get in till Monday but we got two spots together for Saturday and Sunday nights at the Discovery Park the only one in the book.

Day 85 We Explore Aust Part 2 2010
Bruce offered the use of his car today. So we went and had a look round Woodgate. Found a chemist because my skin has become extremely itchy, the chemist suggested that is maybe because I am showering in different water. Took a pill and when we got back to the bus I lay down and had a snooze and woke feeling better.
Day 84 We Explore Aust Part 2 2010
Woke this morning to see a fog hanging over the park. But that soon cleared to a brilliant day. There were about a dozen kangaroos lounging in the sun over the fence.
Walked along the beach and watched the fishermen catch nothing!! Haven't seen a fish caught all trip.
In holiday mode so we read and Gerald watched a bit of TV.

Day 83 We Explore Aust Part 2 2010
Woke at 7 am and couldn't see the other side of the river the fog or mist was so thick. packed up and said our goodbyes.
Got gas at Benarby79.9 cents a litre not bad. The Bruce Highway was awful you can see why in some spots they have reduced the speed. We did see one little blue car smashed up down a 6 mt embankment.
Got to Woodgate Beach and caught up with our old financial advisor, Bruce. He had suggested Woodgate to us in Hobart and now we know why it beach is magnificent. While we were having Happy Hour a large kangaroo hopped through the park. Bruce said that she had a joey. The birds even eat out of your hand.

Spent the day reading, Gerald watched TV and chatting. Its been nice and sunny so our batteries are well up.

Day 81 We Explore Aust Part 2 2010
Very chilli this morning, we put the heater on for an hour or two, but as soon as the sun came round it warmed up very quickly.
Lorraine and Francis came over for a chat and Francis was surprised how much room there was on the north side, there was only a small area when they were here seven years ago.
I am sitting in the shade catching up on the blog, the breeze is getting up so its very pleasant.
