Gympie - Coffs Harbour

2nd October - 9th October 2012

We left Inskip Point and headed into Gympie for Mark to have his blood test, then out the a free camp north of Gympie as Mark had an early appointment the next day.

After treatment we headed across to Somerset Dam, before driving south past all the theme parks and into NSW, moving onto Mullumbimby, near Byron Bay. The weather is starting to get colder, not nice after all the warm weather we have had.

Beside ourselves

Our next stop was Evans Head, a very nice small seaside town. The caravan park fronts onto a surf beach and also runs along side a river, which had sandy beaches. Evans Head was very busy due to the end of school holidays. We jumped on the bikes and went for a ride around town and off to the fish co op for more seafood.

We stopped over a night near Grafton and stayed at a Caravan Park and Ski Park, there was Malibu's everywhere, a waterskier's paradise. Every vehicle that goes into the Ski park has their own pin for the boom gate, for security due to the money's worth of the boats, vehicles etc.

Emerald Beach


We moved onto Emerald Beach for a couple of nights, still trying to arrange Mark's treatment in NSW.

On Tuesday 9th at lunchtime, we were finally notified that the oncologist in Queensland wouldn't
refer Mark onto NSW. Mark should have had his treatment the following day, so we both made the decision to head for Victoria and try to arrange treatment at Wangaratta.
