After saying goodbye to my host, I hit the road again in the morning.
I love to watch the shade of my bicycle and me at sunrise or sunset
cause it's like seeing a mirror on the road.
On the map, I found a very interesting camping site.
There was an island with a bush camp run by a caravan park.
I really love the quietness in nature
so I decided to try that place.
As soon as I arrived at my destination town,
it reminded me of the Gold Coast
because of the beautiful watercolor.
If there was sunshine, the watercolor must be the same as Gold Coast.
There were not many surfers on the main beach.
Usually, small towns don't have apartments in Australia.
But this city is just like the Gold Coast
in that they did have some buildings on the street.
This beach looked so good,
but the problem was the rocks.
I’ve been surfing for over a year and still I am a beginner.
I can’t surf if there were many rocks.
I can understand why there were buildings in a small town.
It must be a tourist attraction with a pretty beach around.
Next to the path, there was cute street art.
I wish there are many more street arts all around the world.
I was cycling to check out another surfing beach.
If it's a good surfing beach, there are always surfers.
The slope looked fun.
But there were no surfers, meaning no good place for surfing.
Let's just move to the Paid Push Camp Site.
I am not a fan of caravan parks because everything is too close to each other.
Staff offered me this place with a 50% discount,
which was the same price as bush camp.
But it was right next to the swimming pool and playground
so it must be noisy during the day.
To the island was like 2 km away from the main park
that I would just go to my original plan.
And here the bush camp is.
It was the biggest paid camping site I've been to in Australia.
The entrance was a bit quiet.
The more I went deep inside near water, it got busier.
It looked more like a party place than relaxing in nature.
Every corner there were always people playing music and radio with loudspeakers.
It was impossible to find a perfect quiet place to enjoy nature.
There was a flush toilet in the middle.
Shower was at the main camping site.
And here is a little bush kitchen where I can get water.
I just went back to the entrance because this
was the quietest place in the whole island.
Sometimes I am too tired to cook dinner that I just got some dry food.
In Australia, if you go to the supermarket at a late hour,
you can find some cheap discount stuff.
Good morning is with good coffee.
Such a peaceful morning.
The peace didn't last longer though.
It was Sunday and many people left.
So, I went deep inside the island to camp near an open lake.
And the view was better here.
It was 12 am and the noise kept coming from far.
I like light rain hitting the tent in the morning.
Perfect time to make a coffee.
Today I will have passion fruit which I got from my previous host's garden.
And here there is very beautiful wilderness.
I went to another surfing beach
and this place was a bit busier with other surfers.
Watercolor was just like the Gold Coast that I missed.
And yeah, let's not forget to have fun.
Just got back to my tent
and it was time to check if all my belongings were still there.
Yup, all the bags were the same as I left.
This fly kept stinging me
and let's not forget about mosquitoes bothering me.
Have you seen horse at field?
they kick their feet the ground due to flies sitting around
and I am just like them.
This bush camping would be perfect
if there were rules about no drunk,
no radio,
no TV,
No speaker,
no shouting.
Anyway the scenery was beautiful
and to see deer running on the lake was like the movie scene.
