Gismo Queen and her King

Day 19 - Burpengary East (Deception Bay)

A lazy morning at camp, although we were keenly waiting for the phone call from Michael at Sunland from 8 o’clock. He rang just before 9am with the good news that they had an axel (bright red!) and he was teeing up the labour to do it tomorrow. We agreed to drop it off at 7:30am again but it still doesn’t sound like there is much chance for the awning.

So, with a day to ourselves, we all had quiet mornings around camp, enjoying the sunshine. After elevenses, we decided to head to Deception Bay for lunch and to get 20 litres of water, as we are starting to run low. With a bit of difficulty, we found what I had expected to be the centre of town on the waterfront, but it was actually a pretty and quiet little place - with a couple of good cafes! We chose the best one for lunch and enjoyed barramundi again. After that, we went for a walk along the water primarily in search of a potable water tap and found one close by so filled our jerry can. On the way back to camp, we stopped at Super Cheap Auto for a few bits and pieces and came home to find the others gone. So we settled in with a cup of tea and enjoyed the remaining sunshine but had to light the fire early when a cool wind came in.

Another lovely night around the fire, eating and singing. We even had this visitor on our caravan wall after I found him on the window ledge. I thought he might make a good 3D sticker for the side of the van!
