Well that wasn't the best idea we've had this week. Beautiful day yesterday and we just about had all of Hervey Bay to ourselves. Anyway, we went over to Arch Cliffs thinking that this will be a nice quiet spot out of the wind for the next few days before we head up to Bundaberg.
It was out of the wind but the swell was coming from the South West all the way up the inside of Fraser Island and with the tide we were sitting side on. Very uncomfortable nights sleep so we left early this morning for Bundaberg.
The forecast kept saying 15 - 20 knots southeasterly and 1 m swell from the north to northeast. The reality is that we had 20 - 25 knots from the south (which was perfectly side on) and the swell was mostly south and even a little bit southwest (which again was mostly side on).
All in all a crappy trip up but we've done it now and we're in the marina at Bundaberg where we've booked for a week. 20-20 hindsight, with yesterdays perfect weather we should've come up then. Oh well, you live and learn. And we didn't even get any photos of Arch Cliffs :(
