17th August. Bundaberg and Bargara Beach

25 degrees is sunshine. After our leisurely breakfast.....we set out for Bargara Beach, 12 minute drive. We expected a water front with the customers seaside shops .........but were surprised to find another tourists resort with huge hotels, and appartments and the most beautiful one way shopping strip that was the end of the main road that let directly to the sea. This morning the sea was covered with 'diamonds', what a sight. The camera doesn't do it justice 

Then I about turned and faced the Main Street with so many people stil enjoying late breakfast and coffee. I walked back and went into the first shop........1&1/2 hrs later Brian came back from his waterfront walk and I was still there! Lorraine Lawley, the owner was a craft woman extraordinary talented. So many things, she had made and her daughters likewise gifted. She also buys from 3rd countries then mounts them or includes them in her craft thus 'up marketing ' the beautiful work and helping in 3rd world as well as her own business. She has given me a great web site (Crafr & Create) as well as her own 'Wish List'.

Such a lovely woman and I had the best time with her.

This afternoon was spent writing Postcards to the Grandchildren and chatting with fellow campers.

Oh I nearly forgot to mention the Bargara Caravan Park, it's HUGE, on the water front, it looks like a place to come for the winter.

 Note to self, REMEMBER THIS PLACE for when we want to have a place to stop when we stop touring and just want to come North.
