We packed up early and went upstairs to have a coffee and listened to a podcast sermon on Colossians with Mark and Kim.

After a group photo we all went into Hervey Bay to the church Mark and Kim attend – Hervey Bay Bible Church – for the 930 am service. Their church meets in a community hall next to the Botanic Gardens near Urangan.

When church had finished we said our goodbyes to Mark and Kim – we had a great time of fellowship with them and it was so good to catch up and finally see their new place!!

Gordie, Kerry, Trev and I were journeying to Yandina to a place called Hidden Valley – our next camping spot where Rose and Dave had travelled to yesterday so we were meeting up with them for a last few days together…the Wild Adventure was almost at an end….

Wayne and Jo (and Jed) bade us farewell as well – they were headed to Maleny to stay with some people they had met during their time away – we will now see them back at home when we all return next week…

A quick lunch at Maryborough and an easy drive down the Bruce Highway saw us turn off onto the Yandina – Bli Bli road at about 3pm….and arrive at Hidden Valley (Gro-mad Plantations, 180 Yandina-Bli Bli Road) which was a plantation farm that also has a few camping and caravan sites on it.

Sharon the owner was very friendly and showed us to our sites – lush green grass!!!! The farm is situated down a track that is surrounded by rainforest-like bushland. Despite the dryness elsewhere, this area is still looking quite lush.

We set up and Rosie provided afternoon tea of banana bread and strawberries she had sourced from the Eumundi Markets. Rose and Dave had gone to the markets the day before and Rosie had been in 7^th heaven….not so sure about Dave…. He mentioned that the Pearl was somewhat lower in the back after all the holiday purchases!! Rosie had great success at the markets and we were looking forward to our trip there on Wednesday!

Gordie and Trev went on an exploratory bike ride….and we settled in to a dinner of last nights leftovers from the BBQ at Mark and Kims.
