Pialba 08 - Beachfront Sites (No Roads to Cross)

Pialba Beach front Tourist Park would have to be the place to be if you truly want “Beachfront”; this is a council park (one of 3 in Hervey Bay) and is quite large, good amenities and in the main is very quiet. One word of warning is to lock up your gear as it does attract some undesirable’s that come in off the beach. Our site is as below and shows the great location.

During our stay we remained unaffected but on 2 Saturday nights some lost fishing rods and the like that were left outside vans so lock up and it will save you some dollars and stress.


Also be aware that at times the winds can be quite annoying and can last for a period of weeks if the easterly or westerly winds blow in.

We met up with some happy travelers; Malcolm & Nyrell (right) were on holidays with Malcolms sister Lynn and hubby Peter who are permanently on the road. We were offered a few games of “Bochie”, not sure if the spelling is correct but it is tossing big balls at a little ball (seems familiar as I remember something about tossing and balls as a kid). We did win one game but Linda & I seem to have forgot how many we lost.

With Dad’s health not being good we are now down at Tweed Heads which is quite along way from how far north we intended to be; stops on the way down were Maroochydore and Miami.


Look forward to posting again soon
