Camping

As we had no kitchen; everything had been ripped out ready for all the new stuff and the weather was looking good, and on the spur of the moment we decided to go camping. It was our first chance to try out our new Homestead tent - sleeps nine for the 3 of us (don't ask! - should not let Lisa loose with a credit card).

We decided to go North up the Sunshine Coast to Cotton Tree. We've been there before, a pretty spot nestled between a river and the sea. Our plot was within spitting distance of the sand & water, we couldn't have been closer to the beach if we had tried. The weather was amazing which made hot work of putting up the tent and I'd like to thank William for all his help with the pegs and falling of the guy ropes.

Can't really say much more other than it was a fantastic couple of days, the weather seemed a lot hotter than the broadcast temperature of 28 degrees. And it was just great to spent time relaxing, splashing around and building sand castles, even if they did only last a few seconds before being kicked to dust.

It'll have to be longer next time...
