days 14 &15


We have become land tourists again and hired a cheap, old hire car to drive around in. A magna that Capt M says has more power than the Nissan Sunny in NZ.
On Saturday we went into the city of Bundaberg to look around, then onto the coast. Managed to see 3 weddings along the way.
The Botanic gardens looked a bit dry, they must be concentrating on Bert Hinkler, it's all about him. We loved the house he lived in in Hampton, England. Yes they dismantled it and put it up again in the gardens. Very quaint and free to see.
We had lunch here which would have been better if they brought both meals at the same time. Haha, it is the country I suppose.
Lunch was better on Sunday, Mothers day. After driving out west to Gin Gin we headed to Childers and stumbled upon a small winery. Lucky to get in without a booking, it was exactly what I would want if I planned it.
Live music, good food and reasonable prices all outside under the trees. Loved it. I think Capt M did too, despite the last 3 km of dirt road!
