Inskip Point to Bargara (near Bundaberg)



This morning was a fairly easy pack up as there were no power cables and water hoses the roll up. We managed to be away around 0830 and back into Rainbow Beach for our morning cappuccino.

After that we drove back part of the way towards Gympie then turned to Maryborough enroute to Bargara. When we arrived in Maryborough, we parked and visited the Tourist Information centre to obtain some information on the area and particularly for the Bundaberg area.

Then we continued on our way and soon arrived in Childers. As it was coming up to lunch time, we again went to Subway. After getting our lunch we then set off on the road towards Woodgate and so avoided having to travel on the Bruce Highway. It is a scenic rural drive with sights of various agriculture, horticulture and forestry. On the way, we pulled into a layby and had our lunch.

After wending our way, we soon came to the outskirts of Bundaberg and found a turn off to Bargara rather than having to go through the large town centre.

This area appears to be quite recent. Not a lot of old buildings but a large number of new homes and apartments.  Soon we found a Caravan Park and booked in for a couple of nights. Set up was not too bad and before long we had completed connecting everything to the Karavan.

Soon after, we drove to the village centre and walked around checking the few shops that were not dissimilar to Rainbow Beach but perhaps a few more. Another coffee shop beckoned so we tried it out. It was only fair. Maybe tomorrow we can try another.

We decided to have a bit of a drive around the village which seems bigger than first impression. Lots of newly developed areas mingled with some a few years older. There is large variety of homes from quite expensive to more economical ones.

Then it was off to Woolworths to get a couple of items before we returned to the Caravan Park to prepare for the evening.
