Carmila Beach to Mackay

Another day on the move. I started the day feeling unwell due to some tummy wog but thankfully that cleared up as the day went on.

Anyway, we packed up and were on the move about 0900. You guessed correctly, we did stop in Carmila at the Roadhouse for a final cappuccino. A different barista this morning and the coffee was much better.

Then on the road with our next brief stop in Sarina at the Tourist office where we gathered some information sheets for places further north. A busy Tourist Information centre that was again staffed by volunteers.

We soon arrived on the edge of Mackay and I made a stop at a caravan accessory shop to see if I could obtain some O rings but to no avail.

So we drove on a bit and went to East Mackay Beach where we had our sandwiches in the Quota Park. After our lunch we walked to the beach and from there could see at least 5 coal freighters waiting to load.

Then we drove around to Angie and Drew's home and set up the Karavan in their garden. We chatted away and had a lovely fish dinner and of course some nice wine. After dinner, we watched the NSW/Queensland State of Origin final match which Queensland won. Then it was off to get some sleep.
