 Mission Beach Qld July 31st, 2023

We left our semi-dry spot in Glengarry this morning and headed out to Mission Beach. South Mission Beach to be more precise. But first, a problem with the stop lights on the van. I popped the covers off the connectors but couldn't pin-point the problem and as it was getting late, I decided to take a chance and head out anyway.

Smooth run down to Cairns but then, the traffic and the traffic lights and on and on and on. I was fair frazzled waiting for the crash up the bum due to our lack of stop lights, but it thankfully never eventuated. Finally clear of Cairns we then ran into road-works, which you can't complain about really, This Bruce “highway” needs all the help it can get. And then there was the rain, and more rain, down through Innisfail and all the way down to the turn-off to Mission Beach.

A miracle. It stopped raining just before we pulled into the Van Park. Our site is sodden, soggy and soft as a mudpie, but we backed and filled and fiddled about and got that van into the allocated space. Good on us. These spaces are ok size wise, but the road out front leaves zero room to manoeuvre, so we were happy to be in unscathed.

On reflection though, the van has quite a list on it and we’ll have to try and fix it, tomorrow.

After a late lunch and a rest, we went to the shops for bread and milk, as one does. On the way back Judy pointed out a patch of blue sky. I just had to get its picture....

Good grief, blue shy. What will they think of next?> Mission Beach Qld
