We are having a short holiday at Lake Awoonga, near Gladstone, with Yvonne and Gunther for a few days. Greg and Wendy unfortunately couldn't make it this time.

Morning tea stop in Apple Tree Creek.
We've been given a lovely spot down the back of the van park, by the lake.

Went for a walk exploring, 3.8kms of beautiful views.
Dinner was in the camp kitchen followed by a few hours around the campfire, including toasting marshmallows.

We went for another walk, 2.7kms, in a different direction this morning. The views were stunningly beautiful. It was windy and the 'surf' was up.
Lots of huts and picnic areas along the waters edge.
After lunch the wind dropped so Gunther put the canoes in and we all had a paddle.
Lilly pilly fruit we found.
After dinner in the camp kitchen again, we toasted a couple of marshmallows again.

Then we packed up and headed to Calliope. After a coffee we went exploring on foot, 3.6kms. Not a lot to see.

Markie made an awesome camp fire which we toasted marshmallows in again ☺. Lots of laughter, food and drinks made for a memorable night.
