Sunday 9th October 2016 Kylies Hut - Cotton Tree Caravan Park (Maroochydore)

Up at 6.00am and on the road by 6.30 taking it very slow out the dirt road towards Diamond Head where the corrugations stop and the road is considerably better.  Dull morning but no rain so far and plan on doing a big day to get to the other side of Brisbane so that we have an easy day into Maroochydore tomorrow morning.  Stuart & Sue arrive at Maroochydore today and Maree & Paul on Wednesday.  Morning tea planned for Tyndale but unfortunately the bakery is closed on a Sunday so Barry was a little disappointed not to get his pie.  Still a misty and overcast day as we head towards Caboolture CP for the night.  St.Helena Tunnel on the Pacific Motorway near Ballina is now finished and was very exciting going thru it for the first time.  Have been watching this road being made for some time now so fabulous to see it completed.  Stopped at Brunswick Heads for lunch at a little Cafe which was quite lovely and still the day is dull and overcast but now very humid. We continued on to Cotton Tree Caravan Park as it was only an extra 55kms and not worth setting up only to move on again in the morning, so we are now at our destination for the next 20 days.
