Before we knew it , the crack of stoopid had awoken us again at 5am now on 9 November 2010 somewhere in the vicinity of Burleigh Heads. We got up and set off to find a much prized Burleigh Heads parking spot by undercover BBQ's and seating, toilets and easy access to the beach.
We set up our breakfast around the undercover seating and lay out quite a spread, whislt fitness freaks fly pass with evil eyes upon our bread. We also have; pineapple, ham,watermelon, peaches, cheese, salad, lemon cordial even the birds wanted to dine at our table.

Once we had consumed our majestic morning feast, we looked at options for another night's stay, we drove a Jucy in and berthed her down for the day. Exhausted from the previous heated night, we decided to lay our heads down and catch some shut eye before the noise abounds.
After a spot of lunch we decided to head towards Burleigh Heads beach for a swim.
The sea was quite warm and the tide strong all in all a pleasant afternoon. Once dried off we decided that we needed to get something for dinner and made a short trip to the shops for some Moroccan lamb on skewers, spinach and feta sausages and some other essentials for our trip.
Once back at our camp site we cooked up a storm and sat out in the warm night air to read. Whilst reading some campers started arriving and we chatted with some Chilean family. They were making the trip from Brisbane to Sydney in a week in there powered Camper.
After chatting with the Chilean's we decided to go to bed and watch a movie amazingly we soon crashed and the movie got cut short.
P.S. I have decided not to mention the real names of the people we meet along the way, for one thing I haven't asked their permission to appear in this blog and using their names would not add anything more to the tale of our journey.
We stayed at the Burleigh Beach Tourist Park

They didn't have an un-powered site accessible by vehicle so we had to pay for a powered site @ $36 a night. Jucy campavan's don't need powered sites, they have two batteries. The second battery powers up as you are driving.
Burleigh Beach Tourist park is close to Burleigh Heads beach and local shops. They have decent toilet and shower block, BBQ facilities, camping areas - even Villas for those who want some comfort on their journey. Laundry and washing facilities. They are close to a main road, quite small compared to some camping sites and have a few items in their office. Also you can hire bicycle's from them should you be staying a while and not want to drive around. AAA rating 4 stars/our rating 4 stars.
