Breakfast was at Oodies Cafe, which was surprisingly close to the Spotted Dog (last night's dinner venue). Had everyone from dinner last night made it to brekkie before us ? I think so because we were squeezed into their last table - outside , at the front, and luckily they were able to find a couple of chairs to go with the table. It was well put together with some quirky features, including a wall of souvenir spoons that also made their way into jam dishes and onto saucers. We had Brisbane and Mt Tambourine. From the outside, the coloured windows weren't immediately obvious, but from the inside, they definitely were.
The trip to Hervey Bay was delayed as we drove up and down the streets of Bundaberg looking for the mural Sooz had pointed out last time we were here - the Simpsons emulating the Beatles' Abbey Road. Look though we did, those Simpsons eluded us and I finally called it. Noooo. And Another 'Noooo' because we didn't go back to Burnett Heads for those pies and vanilla slices. We thought about it but in the end decided we didn't want to play with the Lighthouse festival concert-goers.
Hervey Bay is lovely this time of year. We've been here a few times including when we visited the Vic Hislop Shark Show and another time in the Tarago of Terror. Good times ... mostly. And lots of memories including Te with her fish friend - well, actually a headless bait fish but they were close.
Our unit at Ramada Encore is amazing! Two bedrooms, living area, full kitchen, laundry with washing machine and dryer, a bath tub (!), separate toilet and outside sitting area with 6-seater table. and did I mention air-conditioning throughout? I'm really glad we are here for two nights before setting off on the last leg of the trip on Monday - to home! There was a gentle breeze blowing this afternoon so I took the camera out and watched the birds (practising for tomorrow's whale-watching).
