Thierings on Tour

I don’t think this morning’s view could have been much better, what a stunning place!

It felt like we were waking up in paradise… the girls loved running out onto the beach and finding lots of beautiful shells and coral in the sand. Then we enjoyed breakfast with a view and our neighbours (the same kind gentlemen that were camping behind us at Weipa) even shared some pancakes with the girls.

Unfortunately in our evening set up we didn’t realise the camp rules of no caravans at the beach front, so we had to move our van this morning. We found a beautiful new spot, but unfortunately two attempts to set up in this new spot saw the van roll off the ramp because the ground below was just too soft. What a scary experience and we looked for higher and harder ground instead. 

I had a fair bit of work and some important meetings on today, so Chris and the girls did some homework, some sorting and then at lunchtime we went for a drive just to get Scarly to nap. She basically doesn’t nap during the day in the van so we have to go on drives. We went for a beach drive and then onto Injinoo lookout and made wraps and sandwiches out of the car fridge to enjoy with a view.

Then it was back to camp for a bit more chilling, the girls got to enjoy the hammock and learnt to cook damper with Chris. It all got demolished in one sitting!

For dinner we went down to the campsite restaurant and tried to watch the sunset, but the clouds weren’t playing along today. Instead the girls made lots of friends and had a great time running around the lawns playing tip.
