Obligatory East Coast Adventure: Day 10
Mackay
,
Australia
We drove down to
Mackay
and stopped off at the visitor centre to get information off a jolly old bloke who shouldn't be allowed anywhere near members of the general public. After he'd finished staring at my tits and making us cringe with his sexual innuendos followed by the line, "You couldn't say that sort of thing in my day!" we beat a hasty retreat clutching stacks of brochures to leave all over the floor of my car. There was a
National Park
nearby we wanted to see but the weather was a bit nasty so we decided to stay the night in
Mackay
and see how it was the next day.
Staple Road Trip Breakfast
There are two hostels that we know of here, the one that looked like fun was full and the other one which only had one bed left anyway banned alcohol, parties and television after midnight. As if spending the night in
Mackay
wasn't bad enough! By this time we were both feeling pretty crap after a week of bad diet, my gums had started bleeding a bit as well so I decided I probably had scurvy and we both felt generally run down. We decided to camp for the night and use the money we saved to buy Proper Food. We ended up at the bowling club up the road from the site which did $10 meals, I think we were the only people in the place that didn't have to take their teeth out to clean them.
Anyway, the general consensus on this one was that
Mackay
sucks balls. Geriatric ones at that.

I live life on the edge.
Provided I'm harnessed to a safety rope and there's a team of trained professionals on hand to make sure I don't fall off.
