We didn't have a huge distance to travel today and didn't want to get caught in school holiday traffic so we took our time getting ready and finally left just after 11am.
We trundled along happily (no complaints from the back seat!) congratulating ourselves on our late departure decision. Until we got to the Gold Coast, that is. It took us more time to get from one end of the Gold Coast to the other than it did to get there in the first place!
We pulled in to a lovely rest area at Sleepy Hollow to have a bite to eat. It had a number of picnic tables, a playground, lovely clean amenities, a pleasing view and a cache. All in all, a perfect spot for lunch.
Grafton was our next and final stop for the day. The caravan park we are staying at is the same place we stayed last time. The kids exclaimed each time they recognised something from last time. Memories sprung forth as we drove through both the town and the caravan park. The caravan park didn't have a record of our unpowered site booking but they had a single powered site left which they offered to us. Bizarrely they charged us $16 less than the quote we had been given for the unpowered site! We were certainly happy to take that.
Setting up the van was surprisingly quick. We fell into the setup routine as if we'd just done it yesterday. After dinner we had our Freddo frog treats (thanks Janet and BMCB fundraising) before playing a maths game (sad, but true) and snuggling into bed.
Tomorrow we head South with no plans and no accommodation booking. Could turn out to be an adventure!
