That looks like a lot of fun @Tone. The kids (young and old) seemed to enjoy it. 
Aaarrgghhh, she be a great time..............................where be the parrot, Eh !!!!
Spent a very windy day in Coffin bay national park. Then a very wet stormy and cold night but it beats the Qld heat!
Anyone heading to Coffin Bay before the end of July might want to know that one of the camping grounds will be closed from today till end of July to allow for heavy machinery to operate safely.

Not much for me as worked yesterday but cooked up spiced peppered pork in the barbi and had a few over last night good night gee that wine goes right to my head its like lollie water but nice when you get a good one 4 adults 5 bottles mmmmm
Hey @Dobbie, not all that great up here for the LWE, bit wet, bit cloudy, bit windy and while I sat out of the wind on the beach heaps of others were doing their thing and it was still a nice 24 deg........................................
Yellow and Red flags flying in a good breeze...................with dark clouds over Frazer.
As happens, she managed to stand up after I put the cam down...........
Flew in low for a classy landing...........not a misty lens just heaps of surf spray......
Tomorrow off to Double Island Point to do some fishing, I hope, should be able to find a spot with no wind..............

Tailor should be starting to run soon?
Glad qld weather doesn't change much.
I've scoffed at certain people who insist on diesel heaters for the south.....but I hereby retract any negative comments. I'd love one!

Another couple of months up here before the Tailor start...............................cold on the tootsies is self inflicted @Dobbie, hopefully the The drovers Camp will be out at Julia Creek at the end of month or at least near the Alpha pie shop.
This post started off with so much potential ..... and then ended with bitter disappointmentSpent the weekend with a few local members at "Back to Nature Caravan Park" a close 1 hour and 10 minute drive North from home.
@Crusty181 it is not "that" type of "Back to Nature" place either :rofl:.
Oh well.......
I saw a sign today for "grey nomad Murray caravan park" and wonder if there are more of these around.
I thought I'd avoid them if they breed.
Also....didn't get a photo but.....saw a van with a Segway attached to the rear bumper and thought they'd be easier than bikes. Maybe.
Also saw a mention of another "back to nature camping site" we were looking at and didn't want to risk it!

what have you got against Murray the Grey Nomad.............?
It looks like some sort of club...or discount scheme.
I've no idea but will stay ill informed.
On a side issue, we've noticed some of the "free" camps along the Murray now have fees attached.
Conservation camps $11 a vehicle per night. Others $6.
Have we missed something? Last year we found lots of totally free camps which were great...not so easy this year. It's not the fee we want to avoid, happy to pay, but the people. Just want some very quiet tranquil places.
We're in a caravan park at the moment....washing etc....and were just woken by a bike group who took 15 mins to warm their engines before roaring off. That wasn't quiet and tranquil and now I feel annoyed. I'll get a life!

A mate and I went to the Burrandowan Picnic Races on our bikes, most people I have ever seen there, heaps of caravans but we swagged it without any noisy diesel heaters as well I might ad!!! 5 degrees at night, 24 degrees during the day and nothing bu sunshine, love the South Burnett in winter.
On the weekend we took the Starcraft up to the high country for the first time.
Bit of mud on the van.
Token Woods Point servo shot.
Even found a hut!
And a mine.
The oz pig got a workout as well.
But this fire was better.
Then it was time to go home unfortunately.

Great post @17triton. The Kevington Hotel is great. We used to get upto Skipwork Reserve a bit .... and sneak upto the pub when the ladies werent concentrating
Didnt do much on weekend but got an old school desk for the kids which im now doing up for them
We actually stayed at Skipworth on Thursday night. We got away late so it was 9:15 when we got there and it was raining and the boss wasn't keen on me driving the dirt road to Knockwood reserve so it made sense. About midnight we realised we forgot the spuds so a quick run back into Jamieson was required. We had a quick pot from the Woods Point pub. Gotta love the character of the country pubs.
The guy who used to own the Woods Point store was desperately trying to sell it and worthing as a nurse, i think, in Melb during the week. He used to fill up 44 gal drums of fuel in his trailer from a city servo before heading back to Woods Point on the w/e and then hand pump the fuel into those dirty old bowser tanks. All the locals would drive to Jamieson for their fuel
School at home too ... youll be popular. Sounds like heaps of fun, you sadist.
