Yeah been off the air a bit, due to our travels, but we are back.
Stayed in Bowenwood for 6 nights. Really enjoyed it there, and as I have said before, hardly a soul in the joint. We did however shoot down to Arlie Beach for Valentine Day.
As all the news reports keep telling us up here "Where The Bloody Hell Are Ya". No truer words were spoken. Mate Airlie Beach, that traditionally is wall to wall back scratchers, no parking every where, a million white pointers in the lagoon.....man o"man there's no body around.
It is traditional for us to walk the main street of Airlie, why I don't know...been there a million times before, check out the lagoon and do the circumnavigation, have a feed then nick off. This time was no different, except there was a hardly a sole to be seen.
Did the walk, checked out the lagoon, had a feed at the Reef Gateway pub and returned the 70 odd kays to Bowenwood. We normally stay at Taylorwood Retreat on Conway Beach Road, but decided to keep our base at Bowen this time.
While in Airlie we again visited Michele, who runs the Camping and Outdoor Superstore. Of course that is another tradition for us when in Airlie is to visit Michelle, not because she is a bloody good looker and a honey to boot, but gives 200 percent customer service. We always leave her place much poorer that when we went in. The bride was eyeing off an "F" Truck and a fifth wheeler for a lazy 150 G. Cough...cough...splat...splat in your dreams sweet heart.
The shop is just before you get into Cannonvale, opposite the Mobil servo. Michele along with her husband Alan has had the shop for 25 years. We only see her every couple of years, but she recognised me every time ............of course she is only human.........(he he!!!).
You can contact Michele 07 4946 1124 or email wctc@bigpond.com.au for anything camping, caravaning or trailers.
Here are a few pikkies of our last days in Bowen and Airlie Beach.
