8 September – Monday
We have headed north again and settled into the Maroochy Palms Holiday Village at Maroochydore for the next eight nights. This park nearly meets all the criteria, except for the drive through site. However, the site is very large and we even have a back lawn! There is a large lagoon with ducks to feed, barbecues and walkways – the downside of the lagoon are the large amounts of very large eels which live in it. Just gross! They are obviously used to being fed by friendly tourists and come to the surface when they spot someone. It is absolutely gross to see a large eel’s head appear out of the week on the bottom, followed by the rest of it. Yuck!!! The swimming pool area (opposite end of the park) is very nice, with lots of barbecues and picnic tables on the lawn, as well as a shop/restaurant which will deliver meal orders (including breakfast!) to one’s caravan.
The Maroochy River is across the road, complete with fishermen and hopeful pelicans. Leslie has found his fishing rod, bought some plastic lures and getting ready for tomorrow’s high tide. I’m sure Cameron and Michael will join him as soon as they arrive.
The weather is glorious, warm and sunny. After the unpleasant site in Brisbane, it is a pleasure to sit outside in the sun.

Good to see the sun and blue skies have returned!
went to feed your fish and get mail with Jack today. Guess what I found in your workshop? a cat. I think it might be next door's. It was very stresed and I was worried it might attack Jack. Not smelling too nice in there at the moment. We'll have to go back tomorrow and tape the cat flap shut.
