Hervey Bay was our next stop to check out our friend's,(Mick Sillcock) new house. New is right, we arrived as Mick was just moving in and actually stayed for the first night of occupation. 

 Unfortunately it also poured down with rain, making for a very muddy building site. Given that things were rather hectic and not yet organised, we had good excuses for eating out. Mick was a great host and we enjoyed our time in and around Hervey Bay. With a bit of bad luck for the boys there was a wet T shirt contest running at the pub where we chose to eat. Thanks Mick!!.
