Tannum Sands

We headed off from Hervey Bay with the idea of staying in Gladstone. On the way there we saw a little dot on the map which was right on the coast called Tannum Sands and Boyne Island so we decided to go there instead of Gladstone and see what it was like. On the road in I said to Shaun "gee I hope they have a supermarket or something because we need nappies" as we drove into town one of the first things we saw was a big coles supermarket and they had Woolworths to! - we thought it was going to be a little beachside town like Port Sorell or St. Helens we were wrong it was a huge beachside town bigger than Devonport I reckon!

We stayed in Tannum Sands for three days and easily could have stayed for longer. It has been our favourite place so far. It was right on the beach the weather was beautiful, had some great parks and shops and everyone was so friendly.

Summer went swimming in the pool at the caravan park which wasn't even heated!! I thought it was freezing but her and Shaun had a couple of swims and didn't think it was to bad. We couldn't get Summer out everytime we tried she threw a tanty even though by the end she was shivering and her lips turning blue she still didn't want to get out and screamed all the way back to our van!!

The weather was gorgeous was about 26/27 degrees. We spent a bit of time at the beach. Summer didn't really like the sand on her feet but didn't take her to long to get used to it. The first day we went down for a walk and she ended up saturated after wading in the water. We collected some shells and built some sandcastles which she thought was great fun.

They had a great track there that goes around the whole town so we took her for a bit of a ride on the mountain bike and she also loved playing at the park. Shaun and I had a go on the flying fox that was fun!!

Definately our favourite place so far lots of gorgeous houses there to! It's the only place so far where I have said I could live.
