Day 12 - Maryborough
31C = beach day!!! It was indeed pretty warm today. We had breakfast outside again but it was too warm for another cuppa outside so we headed into town to pick up Janne as we were heading to Hervey Bay again. Hervey Bay aka “the bay” sometimes gets a bad wrap as Scurvey Bay because so many Victorians retire up here. However, it has a lovely beach, great parks along the beachfront, good seafood and all the shops that Maryborough doesn’t have!
Janne wanted a new phone so we went to JB Hi Fi for Mallett technical support and we purchased a lovely new iPhone very efficiently. So we headed to the Esplanade and found a car park (not so easy when you had a very long caravan awning strapped to the roof of your car that hangs out quite a way) and chose our fresh seafood for lunch. When that was cooked (or in the case of my oysters, kept cool!), we found a 
picnic table in the shade of the park along the beach and enjoyed our lunch very much. Afterwards, it was time for a swim! I had to get Janne to take photographic evidence as I hear it was a frosty 1C at home this morning so I can assure everyone back in Launceston that my swim in Hervey Bay was MUCH warmer than that! The water was delightful so I certainly enjoyed my swim.

As much as I could have stayed there for a long time, we headed back to Maryborough so I could set up Janne’s phone before heading back to camp as I was on dinner duty tonight. Beef stroganoff cooked in the camp oven over the campfire. It was actually a pretty warm evening to be cooking such a meal but it tasted great and the fire was necessary to keep the mozzies at bay (not so successfully - they were thick on the air tonight).
