Today we travelled to Gladstone by air (otherwise it would be a good 7 hours in the car!!) to take a short holiday. Kev's Mum arrived in Brisbane 3 days ago, all the way from the UK, and is here with us for a month over Christmas. As a gift to us, she has paid for us all to come on holiday before all the Christmas celebrations get going. We are travelling to Heron Island in two days time, but thought we spend some time in Tannum Sands before we go. This is our beautiful villa (a home on stilts) for the next two nights.
This afternoon we spent some time on the beach and then headed for some food at a local hotel. We saw some galahs and lorikeets feeding on the waters edge outside the hotel. It was a lovely relaxing atmosphere.
The photo below is a typical scene in these parts of Queensland: what you can see is actually a coconut net on the tree. It stops the locals getting a headache everytime the coconuts fall!!
