We woke up this morning to find that we were in the middle of one of the biggest storms to hit Hervey Bay in about 100 years! Apparently, the drouth has been so bad here that there are some children who have never seen rain! We got dressed and then made a run for the kitchen to make ourselves some breakfast.
When we were eating our food we got chatting to some guys (one from England and the other from Germany), who were hoping that the rain would stop pretty soon because they were booked to go out to Fraser Island on a camping tour (like the one we're supposed to be doing this weekend) - but because of the storm, trips were being called off.
We took a walk around Hervey Bay this afternoon, but the rain was really coming down - and we got soaked, so we decided to head back and have some lunch. We stopped in the shops and bought some bits and then Nikki made us steak fajitas. We couldn't be bothered to go back out in the rain so we lay on our bed and watched The Karate Kid on the laptop.
Tonight, we went back to the bar a few doors down for a couple of beers and a bowl of chips. When we were coming back it looked like the rain was stopping (well, we hoped it was - we're supposed to be going to Fraser Island on Saturday). When we got back to the hostel, we had showers, did some washing and then packed our bags before we change hostels tomorrow (we're moving to another of our free ones).
All it ever does is rain (well, that's how it seems anyway)!
