If you look closely, you'll see that the sign behind Keith is for no camping. We asked a local guy and he said "Don't worry about it. No one will care." We made sure we bought some supplies from the local shop and settled in for a couple of days. Danny did some cast netting on the potoon, but unfortunately it snagged and so we had to do some repairs.He ended up catching a couple of lovely cod and a bream from the banks. 
We spoke to lots of friendly locals, including Bill who invited us to stay at his place. So we did! He had a big double block with a couple of sheds, so we hooked up the power and water and spent Friday night with him. He even took Sammy into Childers for a shop - got lots of strange looks from all the people he knew! He didn't seem to mind at all and after I cooked us all rissoles and baked vege for dinner, he said that I could stay. We met Bill's daughter Vicky and husband Warren and their fur child and had a thoroughly good time with them all. Bill said we are "welcome anytime"...we might just take you up on that again Bill!
March 17 & 18: Next stop was Bundaberg to vist the cousins. We parked up outside Sue Lovejoy's place (couldn't fit down the side) and hung out for a couple of days with the kids - Emily, Issy & Isaac. Also caught up with cousin Kathy, her daughter Marissa and son Elijah. Indigo Velvet was exhaused by their puppy Macy and ended up hiding in the motorhome after a couple of big sessions. It was great to see them all, especially as our motorhome is named after Sue's late husband, my cousin Keith.
Sounds like you're having a great time!! If only free camping was always so painless!!
