Bundaberg

This morning we drove about 200km to Bundaberg, bypassing Angel Water and Town of 1770, which we had originally planned to visit. We got to the glass repair place around 1pm and they fixed it while we hung out in the town until late afternoon. Actually they only replaced the window with a sheet of perspex, as the glass is a very special size and would take ten days to order.

We visited the small zoo attached to Alexandra Park and Saskia helped the zoo-keeper hunt down a runaway chicken! After picking up the camper we shopped for food at Woolworths then drove out of town in the direction of Childers in an attempt to find a rest spot where it was OK to spend the night for free. (We have probably spent more nights at campsites than strictly necessary until now and it would be good to have a few nights gratis...) Anyway it was tough going as it was pitch dark already before 6pm and the rest spots were not particularly accurately indicated on our map. However we found one in the end.
