26-27 July 2026 - Chill in Childers campsite.
5 Mins out of Childers. Lovely peaceful place to stay. $25 a night with firewood. Dennis the over was lovely and very helpful.

The Childers Festival was the biggest markets we been to outside the Eumundi markets. Music playing throughout the street with Rogue Traders playing in the park behind. We had breakfast at the Intense Cafe which was delicious and the cake cabinet very impressive especially the homemade Monte Carlo. Check out the size of them. 😊

Childers is a lovely town and not far from Woodgate which has a gorgeous beach which stretches for miles.

24-25 July 2026- Odyssey Festival Maryborough
Another great couple of nights here with the Darnill’s and the Grosskopf’s. Nigel and Judy joined us for Saturdays events. Highlight was Elton John and Billy Joel. They were really good. Expected ABBA to be great but the sound mix was awful. A bit disappointing.

22-23 July 2026 - 2 nights at Riverview Ranch near Elliott Heads. $25 a night. Has a toilet and plenty of area to spread out. Love having a fire every night watching the sun go down. Visited my dad and the Macadamia farm which never disappoints.

12-15 May 2026 - 1770 Holiday Village
Enjoyed 3 nights here at this beautiful park surrounded by trees and the sound of waves. The sites are big and amenities always were clean. So peaceful here. Highly recommend if you don’t need to be on the beach and like the quietness. There is 4wd track or walking track to the beach from here. 800m

Enjoyed the company of our mates Hazel and Stu who we met a few years travelling through Lightening Ridge and my sister,Deb , her hubby Phil and mum.

My son recommended the toasties at Shop 23 Agnes and my goodness they are the best I have ever tasted and friends recommended the vanilla slice at the Marina and again it was really delicious.

Home sweet home now. Only a quick trip away this time but it was nice to be on the road again.

10-11 May 2026 Discovery Caravan Park Bargara

Two night stop over mainly to visit my dad in Bundaberg. We did manage to stop off at the Tinaberries Farm where we enjoyed a yummy dessert and purchased a few goodies. The gardens there are so pretty. Nice place to visit.

6-9 May 2026 - Kenilworth Campgrounds
A beautiful spot camping by the Mary River. The place has Portaloos throughout the grounds plus at the office they’re a hot showers, one dollar for three minutes and more toilets. Wood is available to purchase.

It’s close to the town where we tested the famous coffee in the doughnut. I had a hot chocolate. It was delicious, and we also experienced the cheese at the Kenilworth dairy.

We did a trip to the Conondale National Park and enjoyed a visit to Mapleton, Montville, and Maleny where we shopped and ate.

On my birthday we went in to the Eumundi markets and had dinner at the Kenilworth pub. 

Unfortunately, when we left Tin Can Bay, Murphy struck but not us this time but our beautiful friends Mark and Trace. They lost a wheel off their caravan and had to crawl into Gympie where they were able to get another tyre. This is just the short of the story. Murphy also struck them again with their fridge not seem to be working when we got to Kenilworth. As Mark had a really bad toothache and had to go to Brisbane the next day, they decided to pack up and go to Brisbane where they could get the tooth fixed and sort out why the fridge wasn’t working. The fridge was working on power but we were unpowered. So we lost our friends from that point onwards as they are heading further down south. I don’t know how they did but they both still had a smile on their faces. Real troupers.

4-5 May 2026 - Tin Can Bay - Kingfisher CP.
2 days exploring this beautiful area especially Inskip Point. Couldn’t believe how close we were to Fraser from that point.

Highlight was feeding the wild dolphins and learning about them. The most interesting part was that these dolphins come in to this feeding spot if they are injured. They feel safe. The dolphins bring in gifts like a mangrove pod and rocks and their reward is a fish. Playing swappies 😊A beautiful animal.

Rainbow beach is also very pretty. We didn’t have the right tide to go around the rocks to see the coloured sand unfortunately but it was nice sitting at the Surf club overlooking the water.

The best part is travelling with our mates who really make this holiday fun.

Gootchie Creek Escape Camp for a Cure 3 May 2026

Final day of entertainment which didn’t disappoint. We heard from two cancer survivors over the weekend. Their stories were very moving, what they endured but the best part they are here to tell their story. It’s all very close to my heart along with many others that are here.

Would we came again, you bet!!!

Thank you for the organisers, Alex and Erin , volunteers and countless others that helped pitch in to make this a success.

Gootchie Creek is a beautiful spot.

2 May 2026 - Camp for a Cure amazing day today despite the rain that came on and off throughout the day. Didn’t dampen our spirits though as the music flowed all day.
Samuel Jackson was full of energy and raised $2000 on the spot to be slimed. He was quite entertaining. Caravan Australia, YouTubers , Bryce and Chelsea also was slimed. Looked a bit messy but they were good sports and all went to cancer.

Highlight artist for me was Jake Whittaker and the Sunshine Coast Rude boys band who were so energetic the whole time with their bouncing around the stage. That’s what I love about these festivals, we get to hear new bands.
