Day 21 - Gold Coast - Hervey Bay

What a day! It took us along time with a lot of traffic to get from the Gold Coast to Hervey Bay. We drove just short of 400 km and it took us 5.5 hours (just of driving time). We stopped off in Brisvegas to catch up with a Jankowiak family friend. After the visit Maciek has  decided thanks to Darek's amazing polish heritage tattoo, that some body art is in order.!!....you will all have to wait and see when we get back home (when we suss out a top tattooist in Hobart town).  We swung past the newly refurbished Big Pineapple to find it closed on a Monday and Tuesday. I (blonde) was very disappointed!! Never the less we took photos from the car park just of the pineapple just to add i to our collection of Australia's big things.



We finally arrived in the rain into Hervey Bay around four thirty. This was our quickest set up yet in around 20 minutes from woe to go! With night fall rapidly approaching the poor kids had a dinner of 2 minute noodles. After dinner we set off on a walk around the park to check out our surroundings. It was on this walk that the kids had their first introduction to Bats and Cane toads!! Bella "not like froggies" but she loves Hurley (my sisters dog) LOL. Which when Hurley is near she "not like" him either. Shower and bed time quickly approached for the kids; and finally we had some time for quiet. 
We sit here together, alcohol beverage in hand, listening to tunes wondering what the poor people are up to ?!
