Day 100 – Tweed Heads (Day 4)

Oct 16

A bit of a milestone today … Day 100 … that’s just huge.  We had a bit of a look back over the trip tonight … over all the things we’ve done and places we’ve been.  Needless to say we don’t easily recall all the things that have happened.  We also crossed another milestone with the car the other day too.  20,000km since we left home.  We’re well passed that now though. 😉

So … since today was one of those advertised ‘perfect the next’ days, what did we choose to do for the big day?  We went to Movie World!!

Day 99 – Tweed Heads (Day 3)

There was a thunderstorm warning for SE Queensland today and when we woke up it was well underway.  A quick look at the radar showed that the storm would pass by within about 30 minutes … and it did too.  The sun came out and we had a think about what we would do today.  The weather was still a bit threatening, but looked like it’d fine up rather than try and drown us.  Kel even got some washing on the line such was the optimism.

Figuring that it was probably going to be a bit of a Melbourne rainy day we decided to head up to O’Reillys for lunch.

The weather today was going to be Wet n Wild today, according to the forecast … so that’s where we went …Wet n Wild.

If you’re going to be at a theme park on a rainy day, a water park had better be it.  As luck would have it it turned out to be a pretty good day, weather wise.  It did rain once for about 10 minutes, hardly the thunderstorms predicted by the weather bureau … perhaps they shoulda kept that NEC supercomputer?

Day 97 – Tweed Heads

Oct 13

Posted by Anthony in Big Lap 2011, Caravanning | Comments off

Quick post for today.  All we really did was drive from Hervey Bay down to the Gold Coast.  The park we’d planned to stay in turned out to be booked out (read, didn’t want to honor our voucher so told us they were booked out!).  Thus, we went a bit further and got a better deal in a better park.  Funny how that works out sometimes.

Tweed Billabong Holiday Park is a little further along the freeway than we’d like to be, but its not really an issue.  We got an ensuite site again.  The park has a huge billabong for the kids to swim and canoe on, as well as a pool with waterslides.  Plenty of space to ride the bikes, etc.  For the icing on the cake we got 4 nights for the price of 3 … and then we got the Big4 discount too.  Very happy with the way that worked out.
