SEAFORTH AND THE SURROUNDING BAYS

August 9th and 10th - Just a short journey over to the coast for a couple of days before we head up to Midge Point for the weekend.

Arriving here, we loved the ocean waves lapping the shoreline and looking out over the sand dune out to sea at the numerous islands offshore from here.

Seaforth Beach looking towards Haliday Bay

We drove over to Haliday Bay, Ball Bay and Cape Hillsborough where we saw for ourselves the destruction of Cyclone Debbie along this coastline.  Trees and shoreline eroded dramatically especially at Cape Hillsborough.  We strolled the beach and walked back to the truck under the canopy of the trees were some back-packers pointed out this kookaburra right above our heads.

Decided to stop for lunch at "The Old Station Tea House".  So glad we did.  What a delightful place this is.  The original Marian railway station was purchased and transported to this site and restored as this beautiful tea-house where they cater for lunches, special -occasions (weddings) and I must say the food was yummy.

Friday 11th August we stayed the night over at Kinchant Dam visiting Mick whom Wayne worked with while at BusIt Qld - Mackay some years back.  Great catchup out overlooking the dam and adorned to the bar for a bistro meal watching the sunset with the friendly locals around the fire pit.
