Canungra Qld

Our first real camp was at the Canungra showgrounds, West of the Gold Coast.
Driving in I felt a bit awkward in our unpainted, unfinished bus as the grounds were full of flash Winebagos, caravans and motorhomes.
We were directed to our site and Ant pointed out the flash satellite dish spinning around on top of a van in front of us....we told him to keep dreaming.
Over the next couple of days we had some ups and downs, and at one point we all wanted to return home but then after a couple of good nights sleeps, we decided to keep going.
The kids made some friends but also had to learn how to say goodbye just as quickly because some families only stop a night for a quick rest then leave again the next day....something we will need to get used too.
The town of Canungra is so pretty, reminding me a little of my hometown of Warburton, with lots of motorbike riders, cafes and pie shops.
We spent a couple of days exploring with my favorite day driving up the mountain to the treetop walk and visiting Mount Tamborine.
I wish we had more time to spend exploring and being with family on the Gold Coast but we had to move on as Troy was meeting a man in Newcastle who was selling a gold detector.
