It is just amazing how many people stop and talk to us and our kids. Mostly people who have grand kids and are missing them, or those who have travelled with kids before, but people on the road (especially at free camps or National Parks) are mostly very genuine and interested in a chat. We have met some really great people.

Sandy Cape was a great spot, again we were a dune away from the beach and a short drive into town and it only cost $15 a night! We really weren’t sure if we would get a site as it was going into Easter and it’s a very popular spot. The overflow caravan park at the footy oval was the next option and as it was Easter and very hard to find a spot any where we had to stay for the 4 nights so we really wanted to get into Sandy Cape! As we pulled up to the road to access Sandy Cape, we saw the “full” sign and were feeling quite nervous about what to do. But as we were sitting there a car was driving out and stopped to let us know the people next to them had just packed up and left so we should find a spot! So we drove through the “full” sign and ended up getting the best site there!! Praise the Lord as finding a spot was really wishful thinking but the good Lord provided yet again  Why do we doubt when He has it all in control?

It was such a beautiful place and we really enjoyed ourselves there. We had 2 great neighbours and one of them had travelled 3 years ago with her 2 daughters and gave us heaps of tips on places to go with kids. They also had a little dog called Buddy and my kids instantly fell in love with this little creature and walked him and wrote him letters!! The owners even wrote a letter back on behalf of Buddy and tied it to his collar to bring over to the kids, signed with a woof and paw prints. The kids thought this was the best thing ever and still talk about it!
One of the best things about Sandy Cape was the sunsets, just gorgeous! There was also a really good walk to a look out and a nice sandy area for the kids to play in the waves. There was also a tiny little beach around some rocks that Ava loved and wanted to stay at all day. Easter Sunday was really busy there and there were cars all lined up along the beach and people everywhere! The kids had an Easter egg hunt up on top of a sand dune, and I’m not sure they’ll get a better place to hunt eggs again!
