Hervey Bay

Heading for Hervey Bay today ready for a trip to Fraser Island tomorrow. Thought we would have lunch at Noosa, as so many people have recommended it to us as being very beautiful. What they failed to add is that it is also very busy. So, after hunting around for a parking space for more than half an hour, we took a couple of pictures and pressed on.

Arrived late afternoon in Hervey Bay where we will stay for 2 nights. Drove down to the beach for the last bit of sunshine. It has been over 30 degrees today and we were hoping to cool off. Spent a pleasant hour on the beach with Andy chatting to local fisherman. 

Lovely meal tonight at a resturaunt overlooking the bay. Looking forward to our trip tomorrow, but they are picking us up at 7.30 am!

Have learnt a few Aussie words so far, an 'ambo' is an ambulance, a 'euk' is a eucalyptus tree, a 'ute' is a utility vehicle and a 'you-ee' (that's how it sounds), is a U-turn.
