The wind did come up a little in the night just enough to wake us. We both got up and Rob took the annex down and I closed the hutches. It wasn’t too bad in the morning so we headed down to the nearby esplanade to go for a walk along the Urangan Pier which is nearly 1km long and is over 100 years old. The pier was originally built to help export coal, sugar and timber. It was a windy walk but well worth it for the views. A bonus was that the markets were on and we went for a look and of course there were some purchases of artwork made. We found a lovely café on the esplanade and stopped for coffee before returning to the vehicle and going for a lovely scenic drive along the esplanade and some more walks. After lunch we visited River Heads, the spot where the Fraser Island barge and ferries leave from, to go over the short strait, to Fraser Island. Rob returned to the caravan park and dropped me off at the Hervey Bay, Botanic Gardens which are about 500mts from the caravan park. The gardens were just beautiful. Very lush and green. Certainly not formal but with lawns, great BBQ facilities, decks, fountains etc., it was very impressive. The formal Chinese Garden was just stunning and certainly a credit to the council.
