Caloundra

Not much happening in the good ol' Caloundra. We didn't expect too much and weren't disappointed. Another over-commercialised money pit.

Annie and I ventured to the seaside and found it beautiful,  but unfortunately it was pretty windy and we had to retreat to the car.

A lot of these coastal towns offer a feast of activities to those with money.

It goes something like this;

Beautiful Caloundra, experience skydiving, windsurfing, kitesurfing, boat cruises, joy flights, water slides and animal parks. You can even build a sand castle!

Sand castle building must be an option  reserved for the money challenged.

Frustrated again at the '' info'' centre. As Annie and I are not into skydiving we enquired about the Regiona Art Gallery, but the guy didn't know where it was, and had to ask it's whereabouts from a more experienced member of the staff.  Annie and I arrived to find it closed Monday and Tuesday. The guy then brought out a map and began pointing out routes and attractions on our way north, until we mentionrd we happened to be travelling south. 

Our last experience with the ''Info'' centre was just as bad, probably worse.

At Rainbow Beach we inquired about 4 wheel driving Fraser Island and were told it can only be traversed between tides.( for a day trip tides are critical ) When we asked the tide times they didn't know. 

I'm glad the country's not run by ''Info'' centres. Maybe we'd be better off if they left a stand full of brochures out the front and stayed home.
