big adventures day
It seems people don’t like the new theme. That’s cool. I listen to the readers. So it will go soon. Possibly not til I get back to Sydney, but we’ll see. Cheers for the comments.
Today was amazingly busy. It was the super adventures day of the trip…
We headed into the main shopping centre here in HB. Debbie was looking for some summery dresses, and I kinda needed some more shorts – can’t wear jeans all summer. A visit to the Rivers outlet store and then to Colorado solved that. I had a Jamaica Blue coffee in there too, and it was yum.
Following that, it was out to Burrum Heads – a beautiful little town about half an hour north of Hervey Bay. It’s slightly inland, and sits on the edge of a river, just down from the heads. Amazingly clear water, and pretty spectacular views at the main park. We fetched some fish and chips (which were very, very tasty) and sat by the water and ate.

And then we went for a swim too. It was pretty cold, but tops.
From there, it was time to head all the way back down to Hervey Bay, and all the way through Hervey Bay to the otherside where the Marina is. After getting an ice cream from Baskin Robins, it was time to board a ferry and head across to Fraser Island for my most looked forward to evening of the week.
The ferry ride was beautiful. It was cool, but not freezing. We arrived with time to spare before dinner, and so we sat in a cute little hut near the jetty and watched the sunset over drinks. Very, very amazing. After that, we walked about 5 minutes up the roads of the resort, with a huge canopy of trees above us, and into the restaurant for dinner. It was a European themed buffet apparently – but I couldn’t really work out the European bit. All there was that was really European was a yummy antipasto selection. Everything else was pretty much standard buffet food. But it was good.
And then it was time to head back to the mainland. Before coming back home here, we headed down to the beach near my Aunt & Uncle’s place and just sat on the steps, listening to the waves, talking to God, and just enjoying the week that’s been.
God has truly blessed us with such an amazing time this week. I am so very relaxed, happy and even more looking forward to being married :)
One more day til the big drive back home…
