To Paradise...



We decided to make the best use of the few days we had left and went in search of the Great Barrier Reef. Another 500kms north is a lush green belt like a market garden - they grow Sugar Cane, Avocados, Strawberries, Macadamias....the town of Bundaberg is said to be the most consistent climate in Australia, ranging only from 32 degrees to 24. A little further north again and we stayed in a gorgeous seaside town called Agnes Water. We rented a 2 bedroom bungalow (pictured) for 3 nights so we could enjoy the sunshine & beach, and take a trip to the reef...Here's the beach at Agnes Water, a 5 min walk through the bush from our bungalow.

Oh Julie! Soak up all that lovely sunshine and warmth because it's not anything like that back here... it's grey skies, light drizzle, and it's cold. Yuck.

Enjoy!
