Bowen to Lake Proserpine Dam QLD

Monday 21st August 2023
Well it is time to move on. We had another lovely swim at Bowen Olympic Pool before heading on our way. We are driving south today to investigate Cape Gloucester. This was a lovely drive, our first stop was Dingo Beach, then Cape Gloucester and then Hideaway Bay. All of them were quite protected from the strong ESE winds. The water was a beautiful blue and crystal clear. We had a lovely day.

We thought we might stay at Hideaway Bay Caravan Park but it was looking very crowded so we drove SW to Proserpine Lake Dam, we stayed at Kanga Park last time, this time we are staying at the Dam. It is a lovely spot right on the water with lovely new amenities and hot showers for $10 per person. Great value and a lot less crowded than Hideaway Bay. A good decision.

We are enjoying a quiet night by the dam.

: As we drive north towards Cape Gloucester and Dingo Beach through the sugar cane fields..

: ..the beautiful blue waters of Dingo Beach..

: ..and then the crystal waters of Cape Gloucester Bay..

: ..and again..

: ..then looking in the opposite direction with all the sailing boats moored in the calm waters of the bay..

: ..as we drove back from Cape Gloucester, the waters looked magic..

: ..and again so pristine at Hideaway Bay..

: ..a beautiful sunset over Lake Proserpine Dam.

: Topday we drove SE from Bowen then N to Dingo Beach, Cape Gloucester and Hideaway Bay then S to Proserpine and then W to Lake Proserpine Day. Only 135km but a little in every direction.
