Bundaberg to Yeppoon

Sure, Anouk lost her first tooth at the
Bundy factory but you should have
seen the other kid...

As expected the kids really enjoyed the Bundy Factory.  Anouk was into the Bundy, lime and soda citrus pre-mix whereas Isaac is more of a "on the rocks" purist when it comes to his Bundy.  Actually, Isaac was pretty disappointed that the polar bear was asleep so he did not get to see him but you can't help bad luck and polar bears do need their sleep.

Anyone who carries a flag pole to hoist
the Australian flag is a person best
avoided in these parts...

Getting out of the Bundaberg CBD caravan park with its view of Officeworks was only slightly less challenging than getting in.  Just to prove a point from an earlier blog, even this park was full when we left.  And the locals could not believe we were leaving after only a couple of nights.  Perhaps this may assist them to understand why. As I was attempting to get the van into the park - which, admittedly, took about three days - a woman we will call Madge (which may, in fact, be her name - she looked and sounded like a Madge) said to Nana, "Oh, you are from Melbourne.  I hear there are lots of Muslims there.  And they are pretending to live with their grandmothers so they can get welfare."  Yep, Madge, we have lots of Muslims, Christians, Buddists, Hindus.  And there are welfare cheats amongs them all.  As you may know since your husband then told us about the fact that when they had the floods, you moved out of the caravan park because anyone who had to relocate - even for a night - got $1100 from the government and you happily pocketed yours. 

Arrived in Yeppoon (just outside of Rockhampton) today.  Well, we "arrived in Yeppoon" in the same way that a person getting to Frankston has "arrived in Melbourne".  Its a bit of hike from the caravan park into the big smoke but it its a great caravan park.  It has a jumping pillow which means that it is a "10" in Anouk's estimations.
