Mon 8th June Urangan Marina

Wind   15 – 20 knots  Sunny

Rode the bikes along the esplanade to Urangan Pier which is a historic timber structure.  It’s a former deep water cargo handling facility originally built to transfer sugar timber and coal to the ships. It was originally 1107 m long but it fell into disrepair until it was restored to 868 mts.  Now people use the pier for walking and fishing.

Had breakfast at Migaloos cafe at the land end of the pier but it was very ordinary.

Hired the marina car for $15 for 2 hours which is a great service. Its a Holden rodeo dual cab ute, very handy for groceries and fuel etc. We drove to Pialba shopping centre where Jenny shopped for supplies and John went to the Hervey bay golf course and hit 80 balls at the driving range.

On the way back we called into the chandlery and fuel depot at the adjoining marina in the hope of replacing our crab pot. We were very lucky as they stocked the same brand of collapsible one we lost. We purchased it for $50, $12 less than in Yamba.

Sweet and Sour chicken for dinner, John thought it was very tasty.
