Gismo Queen and her King

Maryborough/Hervey Bay

We were enjoying our morning cuppa sitting in the sunshine, when the clouds started to roll in. This disappointed us - although everyone around here needs rain, we who have had too much didn't need to see anymore while on holidays. WE headed into Hervey Bay, thinking the weather might be better there!


And it was! Our first stop was ARB, to get the UHF radio fixed and the fog lights. We were taking a chance that they would be able to fit us in and thankfully they weren't busy so we occupied ourselves for an hour or so looking around the shop while these two little jobs were done. Greg was much happier with his powerful UHF afterwards (we had been using the handheld one on this trip so far).


Lunch was next, and fish and chips on the esplanade was on the agenda. Local barramundi was today's fish of the day and we really enjoyed our fish and chips sitting in the park on the beach.


Next, we planned to catch up with some CFA friends from Victoria. The joke was that it takes Hervery Bay to bring us together from Seymour (Victoria) and Tasmania! we met up for coffee and this was ur view while we chatted and caught up nd swapped travelling stories.
While we were sipping our coffees, two or three dolphins were spotted out from the beach. They were just playing but it as lovely to see, and I'm now even more so looking forward to my whalewatching tour tomorrow.


It was a delightful way to spend the afternoon, and it was after 4:30pm before we were heading back to Maryborough. A quick stop at the van to pick up dinner which I had prepared in the Dream Pot earlier, and then we headed back to Janne's for another lovely evening.
