CLAIRVIEW, QLD – Week #41

Someone pinch me as I must be dreaming.


I might have mentioned before but I never like doing too much investigation about a place we’re about to visit. It leaves me in suspense and dispels any possible false expectations. I love the feeling when we drive up and the view is laid before us. I feel like a kid on Christmas morning. And here we were, what a beach, what a view, what a fabulous little spot! Loved it at first sight.


The area is most famous for the dugong sanctuary, they are often seen grazing in the shallows. We tried to catch a glimpse but in vain. Some of our neighbours saw them though so we are hopeful to see them next time we visit.

The caravan park is right on the beach so we again had the pleasure of watching the sunrise out of our bedroom. Ahhh, the hard life again.


The kids had an absolute ball. The receding tide leaves behind big pools, teeming with little critters. The girls found friends and they were inseparable. They made a great team discovering every little scuttling thing in the sand whilst the adults enjoyed a few hours of quiet. It was awesome.


Off to Yeppoon next. The Esplanade has an array of public water parks, playgrounds, skate park and even a swimming pool. Sounds like heaven for kids. Not to mention the wind is supposed to pick up again and we’ve kitesurfed at Yeppoon beach before. Fingers crossed we might do it again.



The view from "the office" is not too bad, not too bad at all. 😄

Office lounge Clairview style. Loving this place! 😍 Got my book and off we go.





The receding tide leaves little rockpools that begged to be explored. The kids spent HOOOOURS finding little critters.

We started a small aquarium as we wanted to take a closer look at all the little animals we found. Temporary of course. 😃🕵️‍♀️🦐🐟🐠🦀🐡🐚

Here's the aquarium when it was finished. You would never guess there is all sorts of creatures here. WE DARE YOU TO FIND THEM! HOW GOOD OF A DETECTIVE ARE YOU? You'd be lucky if you spotted half! They are so good at hiding in plain sight! Nature is marvelous. 😃🕵️‍♀️🦐🐟🐠🦀🐡🐚





Footy night and the restaurant at the caravan park to finish off an amazing day. Perfect for those days when you just can't be bothered to cook. Had an awesome night. Cold drinks, good food and cheerful punters. 😄🏉
