Tin Can Bay to Bundaberg

Normal Service has resumed (at least for a period).

Anouk doing what she is told
with the dolphins....
Tin Can Bay was decidedly short on tin cans.  SES collects the aluminimum variety but not so much the tin.  Hence, in order to attract the tourists, a couple of friendly dolphins come into the bay each morning to say g'day and get a feed.  Its pretty impresive and worth getting up early for.  Of course, some of us (yes, that is you, Yvette) tend to up early anyway.

... and bloke not doing what
he was told and getting yelled
at and risking a $300 fine for
reaching out to them.
After that early morning escapade we learned that we have to book caravan parks well in advance. We wanted to go to Bargara but neither park had two powered sites available.  Have to say that it annoys me that all these grey nomads want to park their lazy backsides and sip chardonnay in the same spots as we want to park out lazy backsides and gulp beer and vodka. For us, its about killing the pain.  Not sure what their reason is.

Talking of pain I had the first real challenge in backing the van into a tight spot today.  Killed somebody's guy rope and knocked over a tree.  It was not a "how to lesson" in parking a caravan I can tell you.  However, I do have one tip - do not have four people telling you how to park a caravan especially when none of them know how to do it themselves and then they argue with each other!  Ah well we eventually got it to this site in Bundaberg (closest caravan park to Bundaberg CBD) and there is not a caravan site in Australia with a better view of an Officeworks than we currently enjoy.

Tomorrow, the Bundy factory.  The kids will enjoy that.
