101 - Cape Hillsborough Naturist Retreat

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa, just kidd'n ya! Not a Naturist Retreat, but a Nature Retreat....damn!!!!!!! I will have to get my glassses re-toooooned

We left Bowenwood for either Cape Hillsbrough or Kitchenant Dam. Cape Hillsborough was closer so off we went. Now Cape Hillsborough is 30 or so kays north of Mackay and as a few "neato" neighbours as in Seaforth, Halliday and Ball Bays, and Smalleys Beach.

So after a fairly hectic drive down from Bowen, amidst driving rain, thunder storms, double B's and wayward pushbike riders, we arrived at Cape Hillsbourogh Nature Retreat.  Two days was our thing and two days it was. Like everywhere at the moment you could have shot a cannon through the park.

We did meet however a lovely lady named Miranda and her four boys, along with hubby, are traveling this great land in a bus. Apart from another lady in a flash looking Coromol, that was it in the whole park....again!!!!!

Been to this park about 25 years ago, and although can't remember much about it, and it was definitely a nice place this time around. Large and private sites, large swimming pool, close to the beach, friendly wild life, but the negativity....................bloody midges, sand flies, and anything else that can hang off your skin.......... to munch, piss, vomit, and what ever else is in their war chest to make you scratch like a maniac.

The rotten blighters even went to war in the RetroLiner at night, invading our slumber time with an array of arsenal that kept us slapping and scratching as wave after wave of these maniacial terrorists slipped through the defence of the insect screens, to jack hammer through our tender flesh and devour by what ever means to rape our blood filled body...........

'Nick off" was the cry heard throughout the night, and it wasn't the Bride telling me to Nick Off, which is quite normal........just these pesky invaders of the night with swords drawn, guns blazing, with a thirst of bloods and guts. Geeeeeeeeezus!!!!!!!!!!

So this invasion only happens this time of year.........thanks for telling us.

We had a poke around to some of the regions attractions.....been there done that, so here are some pikkies.
