Urangan

Yesterday we left Garry's Anchorage around 10am so we had the right tide for an easy run up the strait.  Went about 10 or 12 nm up and stayed at South White Cliffs.  It's on the inside of Fraser Island and about 5 or 6 nm south of Kingfisher Bay resort.

Very quiet night and another beautiful sunset.

 

This morning we got up early and left at 6.30am so we could ride the tide up to Urangan.  Arrived about 11am and tied up in the marina.  A little bit of remote work configuring email and databases (which will need a bit more work tomorrow) and then we had a bus ride in to a major shopping centre in the Hervey Bay region to do the shopping.  About 10 days worth of dinners and the fridge is chockers.  Tomorrow we'll head off and I think we'll go over to Arch Cliffs and hang out there for a couple of days while the south easterly blows through.  When it's finished we'll head on up to Bundaberg.  Belinda is keen on getting a bottle of the Chocolate and Coffee liqueur and apparently you can only get it from the factory.

A couple of days there and then we'll look at going north again.  Over the weekend we did find out that there are less restrictions on the Shoalwater Bay area than we thought so we should be able to go through there without any problems this year.  We will however stick with our plan B idea of spending the July school holidays around Great Keppel Island, looks like a nice spot.
