27th Oct, Itchy and scratchy Cape Hillsborough to Emu Park

I enjoyed last night's bit of fishing, but Oh boy, I'm I paying for it now. I thought I might have a few bug bites, Wrong, I've got LOADS of bites, so bad in places.... I've got more bites than skin. Got em everywhere, legs, arms, hands, back and belly. Lin's been bit too, looks like we weren't alone on that walk along the beach What ain't gonna help is we're moving on today, riding the bike and getting an itch ain't gonna be fun.....

The roads straightened out a bit so we ain't doing too bad. When we stop at the roadworks we both scratch like mad till its time to move on. We stop a few times for fuel, coffee and another scratch, the itch feels like it go's down to the bone, it just the weirdest feeling and one we could really do without.

We seem to hit more roadworks than usual and its one of the long rides, so theres more stops, but the good thing is, we don't get lost. Its been a long day and we finally arrive at the Emu Park camp site, only to find, the only spots they have, don't have any shade, not only that, but their hosting an October fest tomorrow. Not for us..... Lin gets on the phone and works her magic, she's found a camp two k down the road, so off we go. What a nice place, plenty of shade and grass sites. That's it and with a final scratch's we book in. As we're setting up the tent, we hear "Lin, John". Its Dave and Lin, a couple of friends we meet at Mission beach. So with promises of coffee when we finish, we put up the tent and pop into town for food and anti itch creams. Its dark when we get back, so we don't waste time in firing up the barbie and sorting out supper. With full tums and enough anti itch stuff on to smell like a hospital, its off for that promised coffee and to catch up on whats been happening.

On the road again..and who have we got in front ??? you see this all the time out here... I think the Ozzie man uses the excuse 'of just walking the dog darlin...'  and can you see the sugar cane train running across the road, they are usually about 100 carriages long...

 It never stops changing....

And here is a local shire (council to you) with a sense of humour..
