Agnes Waters to Elliot Heads

17/10/2014 - 20/10/2014

We left Agnes Waters camp site and headed for Elliot Heads via Bundaberg pulling up at Sugarland Shopping Centre to get some stores as there is not much at Elliot Heads other than some items that can be purchased at the Driftwood Cafe/Kiosk.

Arriving at Elliot Heads we realised what the Lifeguard had said to us at Bargara, he said it is his favourite place and we could see why it is very pretty. The caravan park is very clean and tidy and Les in the office was very accommodating, he gave us a map of the park high-lighting vacant sites that would suit our situation and said we could go for a walk and pick what site we wanted. He also stated that we could use two sites if we needed the space.

We selected our site and parked the trailer then the motorhome. Les had given us two keys for the toilets and said there is no deposit required, you only pay if you lose the key.

(Plenty of room for the unit and the trailer)

After setting up I thought I would go to the toilet and check out the showers, I found the toilet block and entered, when I got inside the set up had me wondering there was a large change room and two showers, cold water and this was open no doors at the entrance so I am wondering where the keys are for. I walked outside and could not see any other block so I went back in and heard someone coming out of the toilet so I thought I would ask them. Next thing this lovely young German girl comes out and I ask where the showers are where the key is used. She pointed to a locked door that has a sign with the cleaning times and states that this one is for the ladies next door is for the men this is the ladies area. I am a little puzzled as looking passed her shoulder I can see three urinals, I point to them and asked "are you sure?"  She said I will show you and we walk out together and she looks at the wall and embarrassed she says, "oh I am in the wrong side". We had a bit of a laugh and she went off. I was a bit surprised when we first met , I thought to myself if this is a bloke I might start batting with the other team.

What they have is a public toilet/shower area on the outer part of the building and the caravan park users area behind the locked doors.

It is quite a large caravan park and very nice and reasonable priced, $29 per day for powered site two adults.

Also when we first pulled up a young lady from the Driftwood Cafe/Kiosk came over and asked if we had just arrived, she then gave us a ticket which gave us a free coffee if we purchase one coffee. Very good marketing ploy, naturally we would go across for a coffee, by doing this we see what they have for sale there.  It is a take-away food outlet but they do have seating there if you wish to stay and eat.

For those that like the surf there is a good beach area and there is plenty of protected waters in the river inlets and plenty of beach areas as can be seen in the photos. This is a quiet area again similar to Bargara not the Gold Coast. A very nice place to stay.
