Tannum Sands

 Was were we stayed. We went to get the handover of the Cub Club files and computer. Warren and I are going to run the club for a couple of years. The out going administrator has been doing it for ten years and wanted a break.

Warren took the opportunity to do the Tannim Sands park run as well. The camper was fine overnight but it really heated up during the day.

As Warren was pretty tired when we arrived, I suggested we break the journey homel and do a couple of nights at Maryborough. Nice place and there were some caches there that we could find. We rang to book only to ve told they weren't taking any booking due to the cyclone that was about 400kms out to sea. It was expected to come inland by Tuesday. 

We headed for home on the Sunday.


 

Peacocks and peahens were walking through the camp.
The start of the parkrun.

We paid a few dollars extra to get an unsuited.

Our first night, there was a wood fired pizza guy on-site $15 saved me cooking and we took Lucy for a walk along the foreshore. Trouble was, there were a few mossies around.

Gin Gin

 Heading north, we were discussing a great place that we had stopped before. At first we thought it may be Childers but no the big bakery was not there.

Onwards we continued, fifty kilometres later and we had found it, it was Gin Gin.

No idea why it is called this but it is a fantastic place to take a break if travelling. 

There is caravan parking in the centre of the highway, a wide park between the parks with two toilet blocks along it, one north and one south and an information office in between. A fenced kids playground and all under large shady trees. Across the road is a large bakery and across the other way is a coffee cafe with food like avo on toast, toasted sandwiches with seating outside.

Plenty of seating in the middle of the road as well.

All in all, a very pleasant place to spend some time out of the car.


Bakery is the back of the car to the left.
