As in other posts we don't stay in Rocky, but go to one of our favourite retreats just 7kms outside Yepoon, called Savannah Park. Now like all the retreats we visit in our travels, they are not for everybody. We enjoy the atmosphere, the friendliness, and the natural environment. Each to their own of course.
We were as usual greeted by David and Elaine. Great hosts, great property. Apart from another van that was there, we were it. Just perfect. We took a seven day option (pay for six) and just did our usual nothing for the whole seven days. Weather wise quite windy, but sunny.......but poor old Yepoon, is like most places in Queensland....dead quiet.
We caught up with Jo & Ron one lunch time and had a great meal at the Yepoon Sailing Club. All in all we just lazed around for the period we were there....maybe a week was to long, however we are still trying to make up our minds whick way to turn....and the most important thing is we need to go back to work.......THE PIGGY BANK IS GETTING BARE!!!!!!
Open plan camping
Anybody for a swim
The garden gnome
After Savannah Park we decided to try a new retreat on the circuit, which was called Rawhide. Only been opened since August 2010, and the hosts Noel and Kym, have created a theme of the wild west, which was really cool. Like all the retreats we visit, each have their own atmosphere.
Now Rawhide is situated 16.5kms from the turn off on the Agness Waters to Bundaberg Road. So when reaching Mariam Vale, heads towards the town of 1770 and Agnes Waters. Once at the T intersection, you go left to AW or right to Bundy. So in this instance we turned right and 16.5 kms and later we arrived at Rawhide.
We have been to Agnes Waters a few years ago, there is a posting somewhere, and we stayed at Tee Tree, another little retreat closer to AW. So we wanted to try another spot and being new, and also reasonable close to Rules Beach and Baffle Creek, we wanted to have a look at something different.
We spent three nights at Rawhide, also visiting AW and 1770, plus Rules Beach and Baflfle Creek. Once again we had Rawhide to ourselves, apart from Grahame and Jennifer who camped there on the second and third night of our stay. Great folks as well and enjoyed the odd beverage or three most afternoons.

First, thank you for the info, and your perspective. I can appreciate this blog and especially this informative article.
At this point, I feel I spend far too much time on the net, checking out junk, effectively.
This was a refreshing change from what I've known.
Yet, I feel that reading other's good ideas is a very important investiture of
at any rate some of my regular allotment of time in my program.
It's just like sifting throughout the junk heap to get the treasure.
Or alternatively, whatever illustration works for you.
Still, sitting in front of the home computer is probably as harmful to you as smoking and fried potato chips.
