This morning we reluctantly set about packing the car and were out of the cabin by 9, leaving the caretaker dude shaking his head (again) as he found one more bloody post he would have to re-dig and put back in- ahem ..... Stuart. We wound our windows down and tried to breathe in as much of Fraser as we could, were treated to some more whale tail slapping (a bit further out), a few dingos and some ‘humpty doos’ for good measure. When we rounded the corner of...

A bleak day ahead after saying goodbye to team Collins this morning. Whalans not sure what to do with themselves with no mates - (how did we cope for 11 weeks?!). The oldies hung out with a book whilst kids played (schools?!) until that deteriorated and we pulled the pin to get a coffee. We played a spot of family volleyball with a soccer ball until everyone got too sore and decided to head to Eli Creek via the Maheno Wreck. We loved learning what a rich history ...

Sad to farewell the Kings after this, their time has gone so quickly. We fortified ourselves with coffees and headed out for a trip to Central Station via the famous bakery at Eurong - who strangely were fresh out of pies. Then back on the inland sandy tracks again, surrounded by t...
