Where I stayed
Cowley Beach Caravan Park
Well what a nice surprise we had when we moved into out site at Cowley Beach. Just 20 metres from the ocean (I can hear the waves in the background as I type this update). The park is reasonably small and surrounded by coconut palms. Apparently it was packed going back a few weeks.
Jan talked to a pommie couple on the beach who were doing a 12 month tour around AUS. They bought their camper trailer out from the UK - they figured that this was cheaper than buying one here. Interesting idea!
The guy at the office was another 'Simmo' and he works in a pub in Innisfail in the evenings as well as managing the park along with some co-owners.
We stopped off at Cardwell on the way up today. Heaps of road work on the Cardwell Range - that's a good thing as they are taking the bends out of the road.
Greg threw a line in this arvo but no luck - again!!! He caught a minnow in the throw net but let him go - has to be some good karma in that hey!!
Very mild night tonight outside and no rain!!
