My day in Solitary....

Morning faithful ones (including several in America, a couple in Spain, India and Moldova I noticed yesterday....keep it going people I may still get that dream job!!) and greetings from my final morning at the lake.  I only had 2 in fairness but I so wish it had been more.  There is enough nothingness here to keep you amused for days.

And so to my day yesterday and it wont take long (hoorah I hear you cry, I can see the page views going down, I'm watching you all remember!) and after I had sorted out the huge cluster of mozzie bites on my ample behind (I did give them a rather large target) I had an early morning sit by the lake watching it come to life.  There were people milling around and I met Ann and Helen the couple from next door on their way out in a kayak **shudders at memory of near death kayak experience** and I took on board their recommendation of the nicest beach. There isn't much here in Wooli (wool-eye) but bush, river and beach with a shop or two and a pub thrown in (all you need) so I headed along the road for 10 mins and saw all of the above and decided that as nice as it was, I would take a quick sneeky peak at Minnies Beach 10 mins back the other way.  This was equally as lovely but as beaches go, I'd been spoilt so far so I grabbed a quick coffee and cake from the shop and headed back to the site, which was just too idyllic not to enjoy.

And enjoy I did, picking a spot and sticking to it and enjoying a relaxing day that went something like this...

Chill, beer, lake, bit of housework, chill, beer, chat to more neighbours from the other side (the other side of my pitch, I don't mean they were dead), watch them try to get into a kayak and fail, laugh, apologise for laughing, video his wife in case she did similar, beer, got invited to dinner by Helen and Ann to the pub, accepted invite, met their uber cute dog, relax, eat packet noodles for lunch, plan route for tomorrow, beer, listen to birds, watch fish jump out of water, watch boats go by, beer, , find out I'm in the wrong spot and have to move 10 yards to the left and the next pitch (drama), chill, head to pub at 5.30 eat amazing salmon, have more beer, put the world to rights, walk home by mobile torchlight, stare at the incredible nights sky marvelling at the constellations in awe and wonder whilst getting a sore neck and trying to work them out, bid farewell to my dinner companions and then to bed.  Done.  Bosh.  All over.

See that was easy! But then it is easy to be easy here.  This place is beautiful and it may not have much in the way of a town but that is what makes it so special. This park is probable one of the best I've stayed in on my travels and coupled with The Rocks I've had the most amazing chilled out few days.

And today I move closer to the end of the road, off to Tweed Heads which is my last stop before my flight out of Brisbane and onto more fun and adventures!! But before then I am sure I can cook up some more ramblings for you so on that note I will bid you farewell and say, as always...
