Another warm sweaty day.
We packed up in no particular hurry this morning finishing off with a nice warm shower. We drove into nearby Cooroy to return the talking books to the Sunshine Coast library. Cooroy was a lot larger than we realised having passed through it a few times but always missing the main street. After the obligatory hot drinks we headed back towards Pomona to take the back road through KinKin to Inskip Point. We were flagged down by a car pulling alongside to tell us we had dropped some keys when we went around the roundabout. We returned and yes we had. Some incompetent (in this case the perpendicular pronoun) had left them on the trailer where they had stayed for 8 km before the 345 degree bend on the roundabout dislodged them. They are the keys that operate all the non automotive locks on the camping equipment. Several vehicles had run them over and they are looking a bit sorry for them selves. 2 were broken, the one for the box on the trailer and one for the pin that holds the tow ball tongue in. Fortunately such is my level of paranoia we have a complete set of spares. I shall go through them tomorrow and see about getting some fresh spares cut.

Susan had a bit of luck too as her watch dropped unnoticed from her wrist at Inskip. Fortunately she realised and found it on the sand. It could have easily disappeared.
We arrived here about 3 and spent a couple of hours setting up. We had a gas leak from the regulator on the stove. I mucked around with it for a while and cured it by adjusting the pressure lower which stopped gas escaping through the top. I shall price a replacement tomorrow since we are stuffed without a stove. Unfortunately it is a "unique" Coleman unit which means expensive if i can get one of course.
The camping areas are quite busy here which is to be expected. The sound of alcohol fuelled conversation drifts across as I type this at 10pm. All the oldies are in bed of course.
That's about it. it's a bit breezy here with the promise of storms which may or may not occur. Hopefully there will be some decent fishing.
night folks
Cheers Simon
