As there is only one small store in Bramston Beach where we are staying we drive into Babinda for newspapers (yes, Woody is an old fashioned kind of guy). Babinda is a typical Queensland town with mainly wooden Queenslander houses, a large wooden pub and a colourful cafe bursting to the seams with people having Sunday breakfast. The breakfast looks good.
There is a rather solid concrete toilet block in the park. The sign says that it was originally built as an air raid shelter in 1942. I guess if it can withstand a bomb it can handle a good dose of the shits!


I reckon so

Now WHY don’t they have these in Egypt? (Backside like a firehose! Although it was unsurprising since the hotel that we stayed in had no water most of the time, so NOBODY including the chefs, could wash their hands – or the dishes! There were insects waving their legs defiantly in the salads and a cat licking the desserts. I had to flush the loo with buckets of water stolen from the swimming pool. Mind you, the windsurfing was AWESOME! That said, I am not 100% sorry that with four dogs and a caravan, those days of roughing it in hotels are behind me!)

You have to drag me kicking and screaming to hotels these days. I don’t care if they have a pillow menu I can only sleep well in the caravan.

I’m with you on that. And sometimes, in a caravan, you get the best seat in the house! Looking at some of your photos, you have been as fortunate as us to camp in some stunningly beautiful places; next to lakes, in the forest, by the ocean. If I won the lottery, I wouldn’t trade!

We often have that discussion as hubby loves lottery tickets. We’d just upgrade the van to a newer model.
