Days 2-3 (Lilydale VIC)

Morning exercise, cooking breakfast, catching up with family, food, and minor breakages are themes of days 2 and 3.

I've enjoyed starting the morning with a walk near the caravan park (Lilydale Pine Hill Caravan Park) - morning sunrise, mist, kangaroos, birds singing.
Some time in the adult outside gym - would be nice to up the fitness and strength during this trip!

Cooking piklets for A the last 2 mornings - I've found the following makes a good quantity of 5:
6 tablespoons of SR flour
1 tablespoon of almond meal
1/2 tablespoon sugar
5 tablespoons of milk
cooked in butter on our gas cooktop
Talking food - we've checked out:
Coldstream brewery - pic below

Townsville & Cairns via Mission Beach July 2024

Image
We arrived in Townsville on the 29th of June and stayed until 2 July. Our caravan site ( Coral Coast Caravan Park ) was not in a great location (industrial), but we didn't have to drive to far to reach the waterfront esplanade and other locations. Next stop was Mission Beach, which was quite nice and relaxing. I even managed to book.myself a message, which was much needed after the many hours of driving! Our muchly anticipated arrival at the Cairns Tasman Cool Waters caravan park, where we were due to greet Kirstan and Zara off the plane, was a very nice surprise. The van park had a beautiful rainforest and stream running along side it, including turtles and fish. Ari insisted we invest in some flotation devices to share with the others, and this proved great fun! We enjoyed checking out Karanda up in the hills - the " Rainforest Market " was very cute and had some very nice eateries. And of course we had to have a day on the reef. Thi...

First morning

Image
 We farewelled our family yesterday. There were tears. There were hugs. There were laughs. Joss was rather pumped, despite lack of sleep. Ari was in good spirits. Pedro was, well Pedro - loveable, fluffy, playful. The first road leg all went very smoothly. Drove from Mt Stuart from our lovely hospitable cousins place (where our caravan had spent the week being packed). We stopped in Campbell Town. Pedro offered to take over the driving. Joss decided he could manage, and declined the kind offer. Fuelled up on nachos for Ari and a chocolate moose for Joss. Brief rest in the caravan, then on the road again. Stopped in Sassafras for fuel. Then pulled up at Spirit of Tas departure point just after sunset. We had a long wait to board, so spent time walking the streets of Devonport, encouraging our white fluffy companion to go toilet! We eventually drove onto the boat, which set off around midnight. Bass Strait crossing was relatively smooth, just a bit rolly Polly. Looking forward to mak...

Eden to Bermagui

Image
Bermagui has been another great coastal town - particularly love the beaches and rock formations in the area. Weather has been a bit cool, but I braved my first proper swim yesterday, which was refreshing! We scored another fantastic site at another "Reflections" caravan park (same as we stayed in Eden) - this one overlooking the beach. Ari and Pedro have particularly enjoyed rock hopping and exploring over the last 2 days. The ocean pools are something different for us, as we don't have these in Tassie. Another lovely sunset tonight... Pedro adding a nice white backing canvas to my rock cairn. Interesting walking around the docks this morning - a wide range of boats, and some history about the Bermagui Fishing Cooperative dating back to 1946.
