Rose and Dave crept out early to go on down to Eumundi Markets and the accommodation at Yandina where we will meet them tomorrow. We had a slow and relaxing start to the day….an early morning read followed by coffee and brekky on the balcony with the pups…

Little Matilda the Queensland champion was working the camera better than Rosie!!

The grounds around Mark and Kim’s place are lovely despite the dry weather – it is not hard to imagine how lush it usually is when there is more rain.

Trev put up the drone for an aerial view of Mark and Kim’s property and surrounding area – despite the dry conditions the location is beautiful and so conveniently close to town and the beach! Mark got a bit up close and personal with the drone!!!!

Kim had to work a half day so the rest of us headed off into the beach for a swim and coffee …Kim then met us after work for fish and chips in the park.

Hervey Bay is beautiful and a great place for a swim when the tide is in. The Bay itself is quite shallow between the mainland and Fraser Island and the tide goes out a fair way.

The foreshore is dotted with parks, cafes and a splash park for the kids – all well-manicured and set out.

Back at the house Gordie put his baking prowess into gear and produced another legendary batch of scones which went down well with tea and coffee that afternoon!

For our last night with Mark and Kim we cooked a communal barbeque – even the pups had a share of the sausages!! We finished off the evening with a slideshow of their recent trip to the UK and Europe – stunning photos from Switzerland, Croatia and the UK!
