Day 9 - Maryborough - Monday 6th May 2024
A day without rain - how ironic that we rejoice this while travelling but are still praying for rain at home.
Given we had almost got to 24 hours without rain by this morning, we decided to unpack the caravan goodies from the roof of the Landcruiser to try and dry them out. We also had to move the van today as we wanted to test the washing machine and needed power and water for that. We knew we could get into the Showgrounds today so after our morning tasks that left me quite hot and sweaty, we drove the whole 7.7km from the airport to the Showgrounds. Getting set up presented a few new learnings but that's what it's all about. At lunchtime, we headed over to pick up Janne as we had planned to drive to Hervey Bay for lunch today. It was a pleasant drive and I was surprised the traffic was not worse given today was the public holiday and therefore the end of the long weekend.
Even though barely any shops were open today (not even Bunnings or Coles!), it seems all the eateries along the Esplanade had attracted both locals and visitors so it was quite a wait for our lunch but worth it. We enjoyed some more barramundi alongside the beach, watching the world go by. As a treat, we even finished the meal off with a yummy ice cream!

Well its the 9th and you have nearly 1mm rain at home. A weird cloud came over today for about half- your wish came true. Tracey next time specify quantity of rain. 🤔
