We are staying a few days in Hervey Bay.  Lots to see and do.  The pier in the photo below is amazing - and yes, we walked to the end of it!!!  Lots of people fishing off the pier all the way along.  Lots of kids who should have been at school!!!!  We also found a monument to 'Z' company - RC Page was my great uncle - very moving moment to just stumble across this beautiful recognition of their efforts.

We have spent a bit of time coastal town hopping down towards Hervey Bay - Elliott Heads, Woodgate, Burrum Heads.  Loved all of them - lots of fishing!!!!!

Wayne is finding this retirement thing a bit hard.................

Well, we have been busy - a few days in Bundaberg, lots to see there - had a steam train ride through the botanical gardens, visited the Hinkler museum, and the old Hinkler House, went to the rum factory it was closed :(, so went to the ginger beer factory!!  Then we went on to Burnett Heads and then Elliott Heads.  They were a bit disappointing, no beach, all rocks.......

Funny story from the Hinkler museum - they had a flight simulator thingy and I had to have a go.  Don't worry, the skies are safe.  I couldn't get the plane in the air, so I went for a taxi across the fields and ended up crashing into a farmers barn - looks like my career as a pilot is gone.........

We are now at Woodgate (Google it) and it is magnificent!!  16km of beautiful beach, two creeks to choose from to fish, lovely caravan park.  Very nice spot!!!!!

Hope everyone is keeping well and working hard.

Oh - and Michael, I hope this one is better!!!

We had a few days in Agnes Water and Seventeen Seventy.  No fish :( - but we feed quite a few.  Then a few days at Baffle Creek - lovely places.  Lots of wildlife (including sandflies!!!!), very relaxing.
