Today we did a big drive to Bowen. We arrived in late afternoon so haven’t seen the town yet but we are staying at the caravan park at Horse shoe bay. The beach is beautiful, white soft sand and the bluest water. Only here for 2 nights but feel like we could stay a week. Not enough time !!!! So pretty. It has 3 award winning beaches. At a couple of the beaches, one being ‘Horse shoe bay’ there is a reef of soft and hard coral as well as lots of fish too just off the shore so we will be getting snorkeling gear out. Some bush walks here to 360 degree lookouts and a water park supposedly in town on the foreshore. Tomorrow is going to be a huge day soaking in the sun and swimming. Can’t wait.
