In the morning, I was
stocking up on some fresh groceries and wild caught snapper in
Cannonvale. Afterwards I picked up the Australia edition of the
Lonely Planet book from a former neighbor from Matthew – I forgot
it on Bribie Island when we had the big night. Oh dear.
Made a quick stop at the
beach at Bowen and repeated my mistake of grabbing a coffee –
again, not the right thing to do, but I seem to want to suffer
instead of accepting it. Even after the instant coffee on the sailing
boat, this coffee didn't go down much better than it. Disgusting!
Continued on to Ayr and
then left the main road to drive the 16 km to Alva Beach, a tiny
village on the coast. The local camp site is great, with mainly Grey
Nomads around.
Walked the sandy, 4 WD
track down to the beach and had an awesome photography session in the
late afternoon with a lot of wild life. Great location here!
Distance traveled: 224km
In the morning I enjoyed
another healthy breakfast and shared a coffee with a young guy from
Israel, who is hitchhiking in Australia at the moment. He just
finished his 3 year (!) compulsory military service in Israel –
even the women have to serve at least 2 years (!) in the military there –
and is now traveling around the world. Had some fascinating
conversations about traveling, differences in various countries and
the military.
Afterwards I sat down next
to respond to some emails and update the blog. Happy days and plenty
of sunshine and blue sky again!

| Pull! |

| And leave quickly before the others get onto it |

| Stay in there! |
