Kelly's Beach Resort Bargara

... track at Kelly Beach, and even up a few side roads. A bit confused we headed back towards the caravan park, unsure where we’d gone wrong, only to find it on the way back. So a short ride up the street turned into a 5km bike ride (lucky it was a flat track). So we stopped and had our coffee and milkshake and wandered the main strip.

The kids then played at a park that was a turtle, and all of the activities were inside the turtle and ...

... beach, Saunders beach, Mission beach and Machans beach. So, we've spent most of the last 2 weeks in our swimsuits. We came at the right time because during their summer months the water is filled with Box Jelly Fish (among other creatures).



While in Brisbane, we had a waitress that told us that if we want the nightlife and "hussle and bussle" to stay along the east coast. We still don't know what she was talking ...

... It is too early for the hatching, but I was just in time to see some eggs being laid. I nearly didn't go to Bundy, because it is a bit of a hassle to get to the turtles without a car, but I decided it would all work out somehow, and it did! After booking my ticket online to view the turtles, I spent the day in Bundaberg. The downtown area looks like it could be made of cardboard facades of building. It is a farming community and feels just like some small town ...

... hostel, and a tiny room with six beds in it. But hey, I was only staying a night, so i can live with it for that long. After checing in, I wandered around town with Allen, whos Scottish, and was the other guy that just wanted to stay a night. There wasnt a ton to see, but we at least got a nice sunset along the river. Then watched hundreds of bats take off from the trees along the river and fly off. Everything here shuts down ...

... on the river not very comfortable. So far JJ has put the new vents in the clothes locker doors, installed a couple of 240v power points, put new label on the power board, pulled the bikes out of the forward locker cleaned then down and put the back together (we have not used them as yet) and installed a new water pump under the sink. I have done my bit; put the new matting under the spare beds and made them up with sheets blanket and doona, stowed all the charts under one of ...

... get out of the town without it and might possibly have gone crazy or worse, blended with the locals! Starting at 7am usually means finishing by around 11 and having earnt over $100 so we've got the afternoon free to do what we want. Great if it's a nice day but **** if not 'cos there really isn't much in this town at all! The money hasn't really been reason for this work though, it's keeping the option open for a 2nd visa for me so you can ...

... don't change. You can get jobs with hourly rates which would be perfect and with the car I can drive to places others can't get to but I just don't seem to be having much luck! I know some of you have done this so any advice from you guys would be great! I was given a day off today which is probably a good thing being as I can barely walk and hopefully I'll be back on tomorrow so I can try and make more than 11 buckets - some of them did 30 so I ...

Gerade richtig zur Zeit der Zitronenernte entdeckten wir Bargara und somit unsere Chance endlich geld zu verdienen. Zwar war das Hostel in Bargara auch nicht gerade ein 4 Sterne Hotel, doch man konnte es aushalten und da diese Oertchen direkt am Meer gelegen ist, konnten wir zumindest immer nach dem harten Arbeitstag noch mal ins Meer huepfen. 2 1/2 Wochen Zitronen ernten stand auf dem Programm und wir lernten so einiges ueber diese Fruechte, zum Beispiel, dass die meisten ...

... will therefore have many different fathers. Some researchers followed a female for 3 days and in that time the longest break she had from mating was 4 minutes! The males lined up behing her and wait! She must have been quite the lady! Sadly, only one in a thousand turtles will live to sexual maturity (about 40 years). This is because of natural predators and bad humans who allow plastic bags and cigarette butts to run into the sea which the turtles will eat and then die. :(
