The magic moments of travel

We travelled another 400km yesterday, Saturday, and reached the “O’Connell River tourist park” it is just south of Proserpine. We have stayed here on the first trip and it was in our favourite top 5 camps. It is on the river, clean, shady sites and a very friendly atmosphere and only $16 for a powered site.

A notice in the loos announced a free sausage sizzle 12-30 Sunday, so we decided to have a day off travelling and stay here an extra day. Also it is now a lovely warm temperature.

At 12-30 we took our chairs and wandered down to the river bank to listen to the singers, a lovely young woman and her male partner singing a wide range of songs from the era that we love, Neil Diamond, John Fogarty, even Elvis and Cliff Richard numbers that had us singing along and tapping our feet in time to the music. They both had good voices that harmonised well together.The sun was sparkling on the river, the temperature would be approx a warm 22-23 degrees. It was one of those memorable occasions that make travelling so special…

Great way to spend a Sunday afternoon

After a very lazy, relaxed time we decided that we needed some excercise so we biked 15km along a side road toward Midge Point. Didn’t get all the way but the head wind blew away the cobwebs and we really appreciated the back wind that pushed us back home to the camp ground.

A great day…
