This caravan park is in two places, the main part is behind sand dunes opposite the entrance to underwater world. The beach side part of the park is located at the end of the Esplanade right on the beach. We could have easily just sat outside our caravan for a week and enjoyed the fantastic views of the ocean and entrance to the river harbor. A short walk across the road is a heap of cafes and shops and bars. We met Wil and Bec our next door campers and enjoyed their company for happy hours.
The week went very quickly, we went on a river/harbor cruise the highlight was seeing Steve Irwin's boat and house (apparently hardly ever used now), Steve was diving from this boat when he died. It was a sad moment for us as we really appreciate what Steve did for Australia and our wildlife.
Sunday morning we packed up to continue north. It is amazing how life can turn into disaster so quickly. Firstly we noticed my wallet missing and with a sense of doom pervading tried to piece together what our previous movements were. As we entered a huge round-a-bout, a young girl in a speeding car cut me off, clipping the bull bar, a 180 spin later she climbed from the car unhurt. We were both unhurt physically, but shattered mentally. We decided to continue with our journey almost in a dream. I think both of us wanted to go home, both really low
