We packed up and after being fed another wonderful breakfast by Christine, we finally go on the road and left Murgon. The kids were sad to bid farewell to Henry the cat and the Rocking Horse – named Sherry Loveheart - but knowing that we would see Grandad and Christine later in the day cheered them up.
We got to our new campsite incident free, but looks like we are camping beside a tinkers camp. The tents are nearly on top of one another and it appears there are a few serial smokers and drinkers next door, so it will be interesting to see how we over night.
The kids were back to their old selves fighting like cat and dog while we put the tent up. No bouncing castles here, so suppose it was to be expected. Then straight to the beach – about 20 meter from the tent – to cool off with a swim. The beach was a little seaweedy and water brown, so myself and Nick refrained while the kids went in.
They were in starfish heaven as the beach had “millions” to quote Lachie. There were also hermit crabs, so plenty to keep them entertained and filling their buckets.
Rod and Christine arrived shortly afterwards and while we had intended to go fish at Urangan Pier, it got too late, so we opted for a walk followed by a Chinese feast. Thanks Rod, it was wonderful. Of course the evening could not be complete without Em spilling greasy food on me and Lachie smashing a glass and going bananas…..yes, I think that is largely why we don’t go to restaurants too often these days.
Nick purchased ear plugs and good job for him as the knackers next door, are not only chain smokers and drinkers, they snore too. Sigh!
Henry was sad watching his best mates leave but he knows they will return one day. It was great having one more night and day with you. xx
