Sunday 12th
Had a good night sleep, it was quiet chilly after the storm. Did a walk around the wetlands, just beautiful, these wetlands have been here 100 years that they know of and Jo, the owner is keeping it all in natural state, even the artisan pool and waters are not tampered with, only tested. The sites are huge and they have washing machine bowls or 1/3 of a 44 gallon drum for fire pits, keeps it all fire safe.
Kite teasing me.
Camp Kitchen, has everything you need.
Roo while walking around the wetlands.
Large sites for all, these are placed around the perimater of the wetlands.
overflow of the bore, artisan waters, these run into the wetlands and into the pool.
The pool, so nice.
Ablution block, really beautiful and old fashioned and clean. Shower and toilets.
Friday 19th
Had a neat day, went out to stay at some peoples place at West Point on Magnetic Island, so beautiful. Checked out the beach, then got to Sunglow Ave. This place is incredible, all rooms are like bungalows and connected with board walks, this is their house, big dams, bird life amazing. Beautifully landscaped and then on two boundary’s is National Parks, and ocean so very private. This place is actually For Sale, I have included some photo’s and you can contact the owners direct if you wish to know more about the property, its on 10 acres. Contact me on my contact page for phone numbers of owners.
