Days 289-291 – Hervey Bay (28-30 June)

We said goodbye today (Monday) to Wendy and Rob who are heading home.  We had a fabulous weekend and it sure is quiet without them around.  The good news is we get to see them again at the end of year when they come to WA for a visit.  We spent the morning shopping for flea treatment and new bedding for the boys (Luke and Ben) who have a really bad bout of fleas.  Consequently Coco, Kady and Leica have got a flea or two which is unusual.  John washed Coco and the boys who were really dirty, flea powdered them, their kennel and their beds and replaced their bedding with the new blankets we got from the local op shop.  They looked much happier and certainly much cleaner.  Luke has such a soft coat now.  Next day we had a lazy start as it was cold and miserable then went out to get pick up my sunnies that I had left on the ferry on the way back from Fraser Island, luckily they had been found.  When out walking the dogs, poor Ben got bitten on the nose by a dog when Ben went up to the fence of its property to say hello.  It all started very friendly and then suddenly the other dog got aggressive and started to attack Ben.  There was a lot of blood and it looked very nasty but fortunately this morning it looks much better and was dry.  We will keep a check on it in case it gets infected.  So far have avoided the vets.  This morning (Wednesday) is a beautiful day with the sun shining and it is warm (25 in the van woo hoo!!)  We took the opportunity of a nice day to check out the beach and foreshore.  Just beautiful.  The tide was out again but still great for walking.  Took some nice sunset shots of the Urangan Pier which is 1km long, we were in our tshirts and shorts until 6.00pm – haven’t been able to do that for a while.  Fingers crossed the weather stays so good!

Cane Toad - heaps of them here
