Vietnam War Memorial
Pop told us about Ray Miles who raised money to build the above memorial. Pop was fortunate to have been asked to place a wreath on the memorial, for ANZAC day, 2011. We wanted to meet Ray to say hello, and thank him for the memorial as it meant a lot to Pop. 250 plus sites in this caravan park and we setup behind a lady who over heard our conversation and stated Ray was coming down to her caravan this afternoon for drinks. How lucky were we.
Old Genny for Grandpa
We were told that 80 Mile Beach caravan park was the result of the gravel/road base being stored here to make the highway
80 Mile Beach was originally Pearling grounds in the late 1800's
20kms north
Having spoken with Ray, he said that most of the fish being caught is 20 kms up the beach. So we set out for the hour before and up to the hour after high tide to try our luck. Jen caught two sting rays but no fish were caught.

The boys have been helping with dinner of late. Jacob's job is the cutting the mushrooms and Zachary's is peeling the carrot (if there is any carrot left after he tries some).

There are more beach buggies but too many to fit in the photo. The first buggy pictured has two engel/waco fridges on the trailor, a genny and a microwave. Serious fishing going on here.
