Hervey Bay, June 28th.

Last day in Hervey Bay, so went to look over the local Historical Village & Museum, in Zepher St, Scarness. I was very impressed. They had a great selection of building,eg. School House, Railway Station, Slab Timber House, Church, Vestry and even a Beach Changeing Room. Lots of antiques. They had a demonstration of wood turning, on a machine driven by pedal power. Just to show how impressed I was, I took 148 photos. Tomorrow we move to Rockhampton.

I got off to a bad start, today, when pulling off site, I had not removed the jockey wheel. The clamp welds broke away and bent it way out of shape. Fortunately I had a spare clamp, so we left Brisbane for Hervey Bay. When we stopped for lunch at Gympie, I found a Welding Shop and had the new bracket fitted. Couldn't believe it when I was only charged $10. In Hervey bay we booked into Frazer lodge Holiday Park (Big 4), a very nice park at Torquay. It rained all night then in the morning changed to a summers day. We had a lovely lunch, on the Torquay waterfront, while being entertained by a group of Beach Vollyball players. Val bought some souveniers, for the Jessica & Annaliese, then we drove along the Esplanade to the Marina, enjoying the sights.
