Day 8: Walked along the beach this morning for a few hours. We then travelled north to Gladstone and went straight to the information centre as we usually do. Got chatting to a lady called Maureen who invited us for tea on her 15metre yaugt which was moored just out of the harbour area. We of course accepted and went aboard her boat. She showed us around the place and we stayed there chatting for a few hours then it was only polite that we showed her around our home which was brief. She was a lovely woman from South Africa with great stories to tell. So after she took us back ashore we bought some snorkals and mask (yes mum I bit the bullet) and also got a fishing line, then headed to a sleep spot we found next to a lake and fished a little, then as the sun went down we got absolutely eaten alive by mosquitos (I can do a dot-to-dot on katy's legs). Went to see lord MDac again and then had a kip still scratching. Bloody mozzies.
