On Tuesday we finally settled here at Calliope near Gladstone, lovely free camp, just out of town, lots of lovely green grass and a river nearby, Brian caught a couple of fish but they were undersized so threw them back. Gladstone is a busy town and port, exporting coal and grain, drove in for a look and had coffee at the marina and also managed a quick shop.
Today we drove to nearby Tannum Sands, thinking we would give Bentley a good run etc and were disappointed to find no dogs signs every where on the foreshore and the beach. We took him a quick walk along a path and then thought what the heck, no one around and took him past the signs and let him have a good run on the beach, he loved it and no one seemed bothered...... Walking on the beach reminded us of Bali, a little overcast, humid and warm, tropical feel.
We will probably move on tomorrow, looking at a caravan park on the coast but have realised it is a long weekend here, so could be busy and expensive, may need a plan B
