Last Stop Hervey Bay

We made it to Hervey Bay without major incident, or any other minor incidents for that matter. We stayed at the Big4 Caravan Park at Point Vernon for seven nights, and simply chilled.

Because this was just a shakedown trip we took the time to test all of the appliances in the van. The gas oven seemed a bit reluctant to cook anything, but other than that, all was good. However, we do have a good number of issues with the van, so for a full review of the Goodlife Tourer, click here. (TBA)

Of course, we also had plenty of time to explore Hervey Bay. It is a lot bigger than I thought, the locals all seemed friendly, there is everything here you could possibly need and the coastline is beautiful.

So what did we do? We walked along the beaches, scrambled over the rocks around Point Vernon and basically soaked up the relaxed atmosphere that seems to envelope Hervey Bay.

On a side note, while we were there we checked out Latitude25, an RV based gated community. Like any lifestyle village it has great facilities, community hall, pool, tennis courts an impressive health hub, but more importantly each house comes with a huge, and I mean huge garage. The largest of these will fit any size caravan plus two large cars, I kid you not. A nice place to live? Maybe in a year or ten, we have a lot of travelling to do before then.
