Day 10: Travelled to the nearby coastal town of Yeppon. Really natural and the beaches are out of this world with massive bays overlooking loads of scattered islands along the coastline. One of the islands is called The Great Keppel Island which was reccommended to us by Mooreen (the woman on the boat). So we went to the Information centre and booked it up. It has white beaches and has coral reefs swimming distance from the shore. If you have time google it and see how nice it is. We will be going for 3 days, 2 nights leaving on Sunday. We can't wait. Took some time out of our busy shedule to watch a load of school kids getting chased around and around a shopping centre by a Tuant inspector which was hilarious, brings me back to my youth. Went down the beach for a while then had dinner over a lake with the sunset, the pictures are great. Also caught a fish using my steak dinner as bait. They were biting loads, cant really blame them as it was tasty. Then had a night walk along the beach and forgot where we put our sandals so I had to stumble over sand dunes and bushes to find them. Found a spot near wetlands which isnt a good idea for mosquitos but went ahead anyway. Note to self: Gotta buy insect repellent tommorrow.

Day 7: Today we travelled onwards 2 hours north to a coastal town called Tannum Sands, nearly running out of fuel again as there is nowhere in between the places to fill up at. Problem solved though, new rule - never go below quarter tank. Anyway it's the nicest town we have been to in Oz so far. Lovely deserted beaches and a great park area looking over the beach from the cliff. We decided to go down the beach and do some rockpooling first. I caught a big crab which put up a fight, I tired it out though and managed to get the better claw. lol. We then had our first proper bbq, and I mean the real ones that you have to light with wood. Got it going first time with is a great achievement. Had massive pork chops, red wine and a sunset over the sea, what more can you ask? A nude shower on the beach would have topped it off though... Went back to a spot we found. Got awoken numerous times by huge bats which sound like kids whispering in the woods area we were in. mowa ha ha ha.
