Craig changed over the roof rack that carries our 2nd spare this morning - slight modification to it, by adding a rubber mount under the tyre to allow movement between the cab and tray headboard where the tyre sits.
Filled up with 120Lt of rainwater from Donny's tank, then it was off for a Fish n Chips lunch on Cooee Beach near Yeppoon, before heading north (1.30pm) to Carmila Beach for our next overnight stop.
A bit south of St Lawrence we were called up on the UHF radio by a truckie travelling south, asking if we could stop and check on a campervan he saw on the side of highway southbound. The truckies words were something like " they were all standing around looking at the jack, it looked like they were trying to figure out how to change a flat tyre". So we did the right thing, pulled over and asked if they needed assistance, but they said they were fine, so we continued on our way north.
Stopped for fuel & comfort stop at Kalarka (it's in the middle of nowhere basically). Diesel not too bad @ 143.9c/lt.
Arrived at Carmilla Beach (free camp area) around 4.30pm, found a space (it's very popular) and setup. Apparently the camp area goes on for a further kilometer or so from where we are camped. it has toilets, campfires, dogs allowed & it's overlooking the beach. Worth another stopover here we think.
Having a few nibbles while the sun sets & I write our trip journal & update the blog. Craig's taken Boris for a walk on the beach - now he's covered in sand!!!!
