Lakes entrance isn't too busy. It's a very touristy place but, with the kids school holidays now over, it's a picturesque tranquil retreat. Lots and lots of holiday accommodation in town, but all mainly low key cabin style parks or small apartment blocks-no multi-storey nationals here. It's a pleasant walk from our park, whiters holiday village, to the town amenities and we cross the bridge to take a look at the ninety mile beach- a seemingly endless uninterrupted sandy stretch of coast line. Its quite a sight. Almost deserted the sea looks too dangerous for swimming and the surf is carving out a cliff edge in the sand. Back in town, the ice-cream parlour has some unusual flavours including liquorice-we opt for our usual favourites. We go in search of more food- Jim is going to make his speciality curry for tonight! The cabin is very comfy but devoid of any contact with other visitors-there is someone staying next door but its very quiet and different from camping-in a tent you get to speak to most of your neighbours and its interesting to meet new people and hear about their travels. When you have a front door it really seems like a barrier and theres very little communication between cabins. We feel a long long way from home tonight when we receive some news of nanny till being very poorly in hospital. Now over the worst and on the mend we discover- come on nan when we get home we've got all these photos to bore you with- visiting times in hospital wont be long enough so make sure you're home before we are! We've got 4 weeks to go...
