I traversed a rickety old pier and watched the cruise boats dock and discharge their tourists on the other side of the bay.

I drove out to Macquarie Heads and found a great campsite beside the lake.
I had to share with a young couple in a Disco but they left next morning so i shifted over closer to the water where i had better reception.

I didn't move far today. The neighbors moved out so i moved my camp 10 metres to be closer to the water and so that the door faced the town so i could get a better signal in the rain as i could leave the door open and the phone inside.
Great spot which could only get better with some sun.

I headed off to Queenstown and had a look around.

The Airport looks a bit scary!
