When we arrived here at the caravan park there were a lot of vacant sites. Thats not unusual given the week block booking rule, and the mass morning exitus at the end of the week. Thats generally followed by the mass afternoon influx …… but not this year.
The caravan park has a lot of vacant sites, and not a lot of new arrivals since we’ve been here. We’ve been here a few times over the xmas period, and its been bursting at the seems, but not this year
Even the ensuite sites, for the infirmed and precious campers amongst us, are going unclaimed
This setup must have been delivered on a truck. The tent flyover, which is a proper canvas tarp, is attached to scaffolding and the tent pegs are bigger than the ones Ringling Bros use on their circus tent
This is another van from the Island of Sodor. We called this one “Cheshire the Sneaky Smiling Cat” caravan
This is Fifi ….. she has had her name attached (shes not from Sodor)
….. but Fifi looks like shes about to be eaten by the giant white metal spider creeping up on her from the left …..
Mobile Caravan Doctor parked outside a Jayco ….. We’re certain he’s just visiting
Barb grabbed the Target catalogue from the morning paper this morning. Daniel then edited the cover of the Target catalogue …….
….. by cutting out the Back to School banner, and throwing it in the bin
This is a time machine photo. Its no coincidence or trick photo that shows Barb watching on intently at the old dude with the metal detector and a sand sieve ….. because that is what Barb herself will be doing to occupy her free retirement days. Fossicking around the beaches of Oz making a fortune out of the misery of others, by finding and eBay’ing all the property the unfortunates have lost in the sand
Daniel has inherited the instincts of his father …. the kids all flock the toy stand in Surfers Paradise to oogle and play with the display toys.
The other kid grabbed the pretty glowing giant knife …. Daniel on the other hand knows you never bring a knife to a gun fight. Game over
Theres certain areas of ones body that it is most definately not appropriate to wash with this soap
This is holy ground for Barb. Its where her insatiable fixation on all things Laksa was born. Like all great religious sites, this one too is very humble ….. disguised as a crappy Chinese takeaway in a suburban shopping centre.
But dont let its steaming all you can eat buffet bain marie fool you. This place is a powerful symbolic beating heart of a certified culinary religion, worshipped by ……. Barb …… and possibly many others.
Although Barb maybe seen here to be selecting from the bain marie … shes only grabbing some Honey Chicken for Daniel. Barb has entered into a vow of abstinence, where she and the other Laksa disciples refuse to eat another Laska from the Temple. The temple Laksa serves only to be the beacon of comparison, that by which all other Laksa’s after shall be compared.
Daniels headphones started playing up, so Ross replaced them with ripping Sennhiesers
We all rode the 3 km into Surfers Paradise this afternoon to take advantage of a break in the weather. The surf is still aweful, and one of the patrolled areas had the Stinger sign out, but that was closer to Surfers than to us at Main Beach
We took in a street show in Surfers this afternoon, only because Ross was enjoying in his afternoon caffeine fix at Starbucks and the dude set up in front of us. The young guy was pretty good but focused way to much audience attention to his finale signature stunt …… and then cocked it up. Pity, no money for loosers.
We headed into Timezone, because Barb insisted in dragging us all in there …. she lined up with the other kids to charge up her card. Barb just loves Timezone
Daniel loves the Dodgems … and loves to take Ross as the co-pilot. Barbs is a bit of a sook when it comes to smashing people, whereas Ross tells Daniel which hapless victims to take out.
Ross and Daniel are going so fast you can barely see them
In the hunt for ticket points, Daniel instructed Thumper Fraser to clock the sledge hammer game ….. not leaving Daniel disappointed Thumper set a new Timezone high score … thanks in part to the magic of Mr Anthony Bonomo, Orthopedic Surgeon and shoulder specialist extrordinare (free plug)
Barb on a bike …. Holy Guacamole …… thats something thats taken Ross over 10 years to pull off. Nothing short of miracle
But it took a brand new, limited, very pretty, Reebok girly bike to entice Barb to cycle
Who needs roof rack … theyre way over rated. Just some really long ratchet straps should do the trick.
Annex furniture perhaps?? Something to relax on outside the van
