DAY SIXTY-SIX: Finally lost the plot


DAY SIXTY-SIX: Finally lost the plot

The stop at Gympie was a council owned rest area similar to Thora with uneven ground and flush toilets. We were used to this by now but what neither of us liked was that it rained hard all night from the moment we got there so we were pretty damp after cooking tea.
            In the morning we set off to Rainbow beach according to the lonely planet book it has lovely beaches with lots of shades of sand. When we arrived it was like Bendalong with buger all to do. However, we have been inspired by the 4wd rentals for Fraser Island. We were disappointed by the beach but right next to it was a shower block that we made the most of, you would understand this if you lived in a campervan. Along the way back we stopped at Seary Creek it was quite good, there were steps to the water which was full of catfish, yabbie and eel.
            We were staying at Apple Tree creek which was a lot like yesterday’s spot. After tea the final threads of my sanity had snapped. I started singing at random after that  started talking to Eric the echidna. We have been talking to him for a few days I think it’s the sun driving us a bit mad. After that Eric and I posed for a few photos of him giving me directions.
