Goodbye Causeway Lake - Yeppoon........Hello Bucasia - Mackay!

Time to move on, this time it is off to Mackay.....The sugar capitol of Australia & thats a fact there are fields & fields of ready to harevest pretty pale mauve,

feather duster topped sugar cane everywhere!!!

(wow that's a mouth full!)

What a view that would be from the air like a patchwork quilt of colour!

We arrived at our Caravan Park, about 15 kms out of town lovely little park & once again, we are Blessed!!! Our front yard is, The Pacific Ocean at the begining of The Whitsunday Islands!!! Day 2 & we went for our morning walk, along the beach we started chatting & introduced ourselves to this guy who goes by the name of Bill Old Bill.......He was telling us that he has been coming to this spot throughout winter from Victoria for years! A couple of years ago though, big developers came in with their you beaut plans for high rises & cafes & so on, & bought the caravan park for a whopping 6 million dollars this place is fairly small, probably only about 5 acres! He started to tell us that when they came in & bought it a lot of the regulars who had been coming here for years migrated back down to The Causeway Lake! How bizzare as we just left there!

Later in the day we headed off for a drive around this beautiful area! Mark is on the hunt for work & therefore always has his eye out for any building action going on! When he spots some, over he goes with, buisness card in hand & enquires, this one bloke he was chatting too, said that some builders in Mackay are earning, wait for this>>>>> I need a drum role! One Hundred & Forty Dollars Per Hour!!!! 4 days on & 4 days off! Reason being the mines have sucked out many of the tradies!

YAHOO! ....... You go Husband! I say!!!

If you undercut them @ $80.00 hour then everyone will be Happy! I could stay home, not that i dont like working or anything!

You will be ok Hon, i will pack your lunch, kiss & wave you off like every good wife would! Hahaha!...........No more frying fish for Shazza!!
