After the last two trips away in the van it got a little cold at night when we were free camping with no power to use the heater, so after talking to many happy campers and Peter researching the different types of heating available we decided on gas heating. Suncoast Caravan Service had a special that ended at the end of August, so off we went to Maroochydore for a couple of nights to have the heater installed. All the caravan parks on the Sunshine Coast are council owned and therefore are all priced the same. After free and low cost camping it was hard to pay $50 a night, but that's what we had to pay. When we were both working we didn't mind paying $50 per night, but now we are not we can spend that $50 in a much better way, example, a lovely lunch for two. It is a shame as we love the Sunshine Coast, but it is getting too expensive now. In saying that, the van park was full!
Anyway, we did the local Op Shops, where I picked up some cool fabric, and shopping for the few days away and just enjoyed the beach and the calm.
On the Tuesday we left the park and dropped the van off at Suncoast Caravan Service, and headed for the Sunshine Plaza and had brunch at Coffee Club overlooking the canal, and walked around the shops for a while. We went to a movie - Jason Bourne, which was pretty good. After picking up the van we headed north to Kybong.
