Inskip Point

When we left Fraser we had decided to spend a night or two at Inskip Point.  This is a spot our friends Vicky and Craig had recommended, we loved the look of it when we drove past on the way to Fraser.  Our friends the Ellis family also were in the area so they met us off the barge.  Was great to have people waving and cheering for us, felt like we were returning from a long journey but we'd actually only seen them a few days prior!  We set up right next to the Ellis family under some pretty trees, at Inskip Point.
 Inskip is set at the point near Rainbow Beach.  One side is ocean(surf) and the other is a calmer beach side.  It's a great place to stay, cheap too.  You have to bring in your own water, but that was ok as there was a filling station in town.  We spent many an hour chatting by the camp fire, and of course toasting marsh mellows.

The kids found this awesome tree to climb and it became their hideout for the next few days.

Mark and Kaz preparing for fishing.

Dan bought Kaz a surf rod, so of course I had to have one too.  We all set of for the beach and had a lovely afternoon trying to catch fish.  Was very amusing watching us learn to cast with the big rods.  We all caught a fish, nothing overly fabulous except Kaz's tailor that she caught, was very tasty!

 

Note Marks 'fishing outfit' and his huge fish!

The kids were more interested in swimming than fishing.

The kids all had a wonderful time hanging out together.  They even wanted to camp in our tent together.  We reluctantly gave in and put it up in the dark, we were a bit late.  They had so much fun though and looked adorable when they all fell asleep!

Charlotte has this plan of what she wants to do when she grows up.  She and her friends are going to have a pedal powered vehicle/boat/plane that can travel around the world  saving wild life.  She has spent hours discussing the team and how it will all work.  So of course she is very keen to see as much wild life as possible.  Mark had read about how you can feed wild dolphins as Tin Can Bay, so we had to go and see them.  It was lovely to watch them swimming in the water.  You even got to feed them for a whole $5, very cheap, I think its $100 at sea world!  Charlotte was so besotted, she loved it.  Jake, not so much, he was cold and wanted to go back to the car, dear boy!

We ended up spending three very relaxing enjoyable days at Inskip, just hanging out, sitting on the beach and chatting with friends.  What a life!  Next stop Hervey Bay.
