Day 5. Yeppoon

 After a windy, wet night we decided to stay another night and go to Byfield State Forest for a walk, swim and picnic. We went to the local pottery gallery where everything was beautiful but expensive so just left a small donation. My favourite piece was $850!

The rather large kiln where the items are made. 

Stopped at the tiny township of Byfield. The local school has 33 students. The general store was closed so we bought a coffee at a coffee van and supplied our own eats for morning tea. 

A beautiful flower Yvonne spotted while we had coffee. 

The view on the way to Stoney Creek.

A couple of cms of water across the road. 

After a picnic lunch we went for a walk. The long walk was closed so we did the shorter one.

Took the plunge in the icy water. Mark dived straight in.

Yvonne and I were a little more sedate.

Then it was off to Rosslyn Bay for fuel and home for a hot shower to warm up. 

Washing done and relaxing by the lake 'blogging' & catching up with Beverley on the phone while others rested.

Wasn't going to put a 2nd pic but I couldn't resist as I snapped a seagull

mid flight 🙂

We had dinner in the camp kitchen and finished the night with a game of trouble.
