The free water park on the foreshore
Hi Folks,
We were given the day off from HelpX today due to the busy schedule in store for us over the weekend and next week with a big list of jobs.
We drove down to Hervey Bay and had our coffee. Hervey Bay is a collection of fishing villages which in combination are Hervey Bay i.e. Torquay, Pialba etc The area has extensive shopping facilities with the main tourist attraction being Fraser Island.
We headed along the esplanade southwards until we reached the marina where the Fraser Island barge departs. A brief walk around and we returned to the part of the esplanade where there was a bike track. A gentle 20 km ride along the foreshore saw us taking in the houses, apartments,shops, sea views and people. The weather was perfect; light high cloud, 26 C with a nice sea breeze, The paved track was flat with lots of shady trees and decent toilet blocks. After the ride a light late lunch and more coffees before returning to our hosts via the shops. A very relaxing afternoon where one just pedalled and let the mind wander/wonder.
Some lovely BBQ T-bones on the balcony for tea.
As I type this Susan is wrapping the "pass the parcel" presents for the birthday party here on Sunday.
The weather is idyllic. House and land prices away from Hervey Bay are very reasonable. Could be a good place to live.
Finally congratulations Alyce on your promotion!
Night Folks
cheers Simon
Free gym machines - lat pull down
More gym machines - cross trainer and inclined bike
Camels where?
......POSTSCRIPT
Hervey Bay is the Florida of Queensland, populated mainly by retirees. Interesting to see a younger guy ask a 70's + man at McCafe how to connect to the wifi. Later on our cycle along the esplanade I notices another old guy doing sit ups on some type of inclined board, it wasnt until later that I found that there is a circuit of "gym equipment" along the track complete with lat machine and cross trainer among others. A good idea!
One discovery today has left me stumped, as we havent seen any camels around the area.
Susan
