Woodford
We've made it to Woodford. There are so many more people here on Boxing Day than last time - so we're a bit further away from the festival but our site is quite private.
A few pics of the sunset from our site
Bulk ice
What a great machine! Bulk ice and filtered water. $4 gets you 10kg ice straight into your esky or 8kg in a bag. And 30c per litre for water. The machine is just sitting in the corner of a shopping centre car park.
Boxing Day
We've snuck down to the surf club for a breakie wrap and coffee while Ange & Phil are packing the van - what a way to start the day!!
Christmas feast
After presents and a dip at the beach we started on the Christmas feast marathon
Over many hours the courses were:
1. Glass of bubbles
2. prawns
3. Ham, chicken, salad, potato bake
4. Hours later and after a quick dip in the pool with Michelle and family we're onto dessert. Cheese cake, meringue, ice cream
Christmas breakfast
After opening the pressies, Phil had whipped up a fabulous breakfast - haloumi, egg, avocado, and tomatoes
Alexandra Headland
We've finally made it to Maroochydore and it's fabulous! Beautiful weather, breaky wrap at the surf club, and about to go for a dip
Cafe Valetta
Finally some decent food!!
Stopped in Toowoomba for lunch at Cafe Valetta. A barbershop quartet stood on the balcony to sing a few songs. It's actually nice enough to sit outside - in comparison to all the other stops which have been way too hot!
New Dynasty
And so the fine dining tour continues ... no actually dinner wasn't so bad.
I had red curry prawn and while it didn't look like any red curry I've ever had, it had an essential ingredient for this point on the tour - vegetables!!
Also, they do one hell-of-a RSL pour
And the table decorations
Alexander's
Not the best breakfast - good job I've got snacks in the car!
And when I say not the best - I mean the worst ...
Rogue leaf
Somehow a leaf found its way into the aircon fan and was making a continuous ticking sound! We were worried the aircon was breaking down but Reid managed to find his way through the back of the glovebox to the rogue leaf and fix the problem! Phew!
Now we've stopped for lunch at a park - home made chicken sandwiches
There are heaps of decorative cows
Road tripping
We're finally underway!! After almost two hours of technical difficulties trying to get the audiobook downloaded!
For a chance we were actually ready to go in time without too much stress and then the audiobook saga began!
Anyway, we're off now - Parkes here we come!!
