Slowly, Slowly, we have progress.

Finally we have reasonable internet! We are up at Woodgate Beach, on the Wide Bay coast in Queensland. Due to me having to have an operation on the 17th of July, we have taken the opportunity to head up the Coast.

It's not quite the same as doing the lap of Australia as previously planned but it is a pretty good substitute.

At first we found our way up to a beautiful caravan park near Childers called Redbrook Lake Caravan Park. It is a wonderfully relaxing place near a little lake with water birds and lots of other animals around to keep us interested. Gary and Sharon are absolutely the best of hosts and made our stay all the more worthwhile.

I was given free access to the Kayaks while we were there and took full advantage. Kayaking about on the lake, I was able to try out my new GoPro 5 with absolute satisfaction. The bird life is really amazing with Ducks, Black Swans, Australian Spoon bills, Pelicans and many other birds.

Then it was a drive of about 23 kilometres from there to Woodgate and we are having wonderfully peaceful walks on the beach and great conversation with some of the other people we have met.

Here are a few photos to explain:
