Week 30


Sunshine Coast


Tuesday 23rd July

We stopped at Gympie and let the kids have a play. As demonstrated by Curtis, the playground kept them very busy!



 Using the Camps Australia wide book we found budget accommodation at the Pomona showgrounds and stayed for 7 nights.

We dropped in to see Yve and John in Noosa and ended up staying for dinner. There were lots to catch up on. Jake was more than happy to entertain Yve’s with he’s adventures. Yve’s gave the kids a teddy bear each to look after. Jake loves he’s green bear.



On Wednesday we went out to find some local big things. First the Big Shell.



Then the Big Gingerbread man and the Ginger factory.



Then onto the Big Pineapple!



Thursday and Friday were spent exploring The sunshine coast and doing the all-important school work.

On Friday night we caught up with the Kibble family (Guy’s work mate Ben & family) We felt so welcomed and enjoyed dinner and the chance to be out of the van for an evening.

We visited the infamous Eumundi markets on the Saturday morning, parking was almost impossible it was so big and busy. The rest of the day was filled up driving around the Maroochydore area checking out the sights.



Sunday brought the annual Pomona King of the Mountain festival and the crowds with it. Ben and his family came up for a look too.

 
In the  afternoon we lazed about at Noosa Beach playing beach cricket and soccer with the Kibble family it was a great way to see the week out.
