Day 12 - driving
around to charge the batteries day, because it's still overcast and raining, so
the solar panels aren't capturing a whole lot. We're all feeling pretty smashed
today after our big day at the reef yesterday, so we decided to stay another
day at Pt Douglas to recover, rather than breaking camp and moving on. We drove
to the Mosman Gorge info centre, which was pretty amazing. It's only 20km
inland but even more lush and tropical, if that's even possible. We decided
we'll come back here tomorrow and do one of the walks.. We then drove the short
distance to Bonny Doon (yes, that's right, "we're going to Bonny
Doon....." although it's not the actual one referred to in the movie) but
decided not to go for a walk on the beach there due all the signs with
crocodiles on them. We could smell sugar cane being processed at a nearby
plant. Incredibly sweet smell. We then drove back to camp, and relaxed in the
Caravan Park's pool for the first time since we arrived, and it was pretty
nice. Keith and Nicole checked out the waterslides and said they were pretty
fun. Early dinner and early to bed, for tomorrow we move northwards...
This is a random photo of a letterbox that I thought was creative. We thought it looked a bit like Donkey from Shrek.
