Subject: Notes from a Windy Coast
Above is a photo of the Don Pancho Resort where Annie and I are staying at Bargara Beach.
Very windy here at the moment, although Annie says she was talking to someone ( not a man I hope ) and they said it was windy here all the time. Can you believe that?
Bargara is much like Trinity Beach, ( for those who know it ) probably better. It is 17kms from Bundaberg and is separated from the city by vast cane fields. The village has only a few streets, a lovely beach front with covered picnic benches. A few coffee shops. Cafes etc, face the beach.
Unlike Tannum Sands ( the site of bitter disappointment for me ) it is has not yet fallen victim to the developer's bulldozers. Why? I don't know.
Tannum Sands is 20kms from Gladstone, and being within easy reach of the city is overun by development, in contrast, Bargara is 17kms from the city and virtually untouched.
Maybe Bundaberg council is not into rape and pillage, although a Woolworths supermarket has just opened. Maybe that's the green light the Philistines have been waiting for.
Anyhow, back to the Don Pancho. The beach out front of the resort is really great, lovely sand, and I believe, turtles come in at night to lay their eggs, although we havn't been lucky enough to see any yet.
The Don Pancho itself is a little dated compered to the couple of newer resorts that have sprung up around it, but it does have absolute beach frontage as the photo shows which makes it so much more attractive.
So as Kevin Rudd does ----- asks a question, then answers it himself.
