Our last night on Fraser was spent sitting on our 'balcony' overlooking the ocean, sipping vodka & cranberry juice (beer for the boys). We were treated to a spectacular display of whales playing far out on the horizon - got our binoculars out to see at least 3 whales, probably more, slapping the water repeatedly with their tails, and breaching several times. It was wonderful, and a fitting end to our time on the island. No photos available, they were way too far away, so you'll just have to take my word for it.
I woke up at 6.30am this morning to a beautiful sunrise - grabbed my camera and started clicking away. Had to make the most of it, cos it's not that often that I actually see the sunrise! Took farewell photos of our camp on the beach, with a gorgeous golden glow and a rainbow to top it off. Magic!
We're on our way to Hervey Bay today - dropped camp and left around 9.15am then stopped off at The Pinnacles for a couple of shots of the coloured sands. This is a protected area, but some idiot has carved 'Alan 2010' into one of the formations - what a moron!
Arrived at Hervey Bay around 3.00pm to find that there are no places available at any of the caravan parks - finally managed to get a couple of spaces at the Pialba Beachfront Tourist Park. Threw some washing in the machines, had drinks and nibbles at Pete & Dee's van, then headed back to our van. Will be leaving for Bundaberg/Bargara tomorrow.
