Bagged out at Bundaberg

Hello dear Blogsters, well the trip is nearly done and we are at Bundaberg. We travelled from Rubyvale to just out of Gladstone and felt lucky to have found a good little roadside camp spot. We set up camp and had a lovely fire going in no time - just as well as it showered all night. We packed up some slightly damp swags (dry on the inside fortunately) and headed off for Bundaberg.

We made good time and arrived at Bundaberg at lunch time. We drove out to Mon Repos and booked into the lovely little old caravan park here. This is the site of a major turtle rookery - but its not quite the right time of the year for them to be here yet.
We set up our tent on the sand-dune and have a wonderful view of the sea. Sam took the time to get in some more guitar practise on the beach!
On our first day here, Mum and I headed off to the hairdresser for a cut and colour before home. It was quite blissfull to be pampered for a while!

Today the weather forcast wasn't brilliant, so I took the younguns out for a day of fun. First we went bowling - what a hoot! I shall modestly claim to have won both games (age and experience showing).
We also played mini golf and then headed off to the cinema to watch "The Dark Knight" - the new batman film which opened today. Our general consensus was that the film was great and Heath Ledger absolutely brilliant as the joker - how sad that he isn't around to do more films!

Tomorrow we pack up and start heading for home!

Kerry and Angelle - here are your darlings just in case you have forgotten what they look like!

Tomorrow we turn for home - tonight we will have a last supper together and watch a film of our photos of the trip - should be fun. See you all at home soon!
