Blog update

My last entry mentioned how tight the caravan position was at Mooloolaba and it was no mean feat getting out without sustaining any damage or causing any carnage but it did require the assisstance of a couple of good helpers and the relocation of somones car and annexe.
We didn't journey far settling in at Tewantin about 3/4 hr later for a couple of days enabling us to catch up with Nancy's brother Barry and his wife Joe. At least the van site was easy to reverse into and well away from neighbours.
Our next port of call was Maryborough, we booked into a CP near the city for 3 nights with Nancy wondering what the hell we were going to do for 3 days well surprise surprise we stayed an extra day, what an amazing little city, so much history, so much pride and people involvement. Each day we enjoyed a 20 minute walk into town to do all the touristy things such as historical and heritage walks etc but we also spent quite a bit of time just walking and driving around the streets looking and photographing the beautiful old homes that abound in the this place, obviously a mecca for historians.
As a good gesture to the people of Maryborogh we endeavoured to boost the local economy as much as possible by buying out Aldi, Bunnings, Woolworths and the local camping store plus all the vendors at the weekly market held in the centre of town every Thursday, which Nancy considered was the best market she had been to.
Tomorrow we are off to Munduberra for a couple of nights (only because we have never been there) and then weather permitting we will head for Cania Gorge near Monto.
