We got dropped of back at the camp site around 4 o’clock and showered ready for our short drive down to Noosa Heads. It was getting late when we arrived and so went straight out for a drink at the biggest bar in town, the Bloody Mary was spicy and the red wine choice was good.
Ok since we were in a lively up to date town we thought we would try to find a wireless network from the van and update the blog excellent lots of choices so we drove up and down the main street until good signal strength was found on the laptop and sent the pictures and some more text, it took ages and by midnight we had drained the battery and were ready for bed.
Finding a camp site was out of the question so as usual we parked at a local beauty spot and settled down for the night, a good sleep with no real disturbance except the sound of waves and the humidity. We awoke to a gorgeous view of the sea and sandy beaches, then I noticed the sticker on the windscreen ’no parking here please it’s a national park, we’ve got your no and next time the fine is $1500’ oh well time to find that campsite, we did and have spent the day on the beach being very lazy.

Travellers Autobarn Sydney
This will be our last night in the camper as we are swapping it for a car so the van decals can be put on for the ’World Nomad’ sponsership, as real shame it has been really brilliant, totally reliable and very economic to run, it drives great even at the rather slow pace we have come to expect.
We would like to thank the guys at Travellers Auto Barn for the loan of the camper and especially Peter Burke and John Lang without whom we would be walking, we have travelled from Sydney to Airlie Beach and put 4000 km’s on the clock without problems.
Next stop Australia Zoo, "Crickey!" Then dropping the camper van off in Brisbane. Tot later
