Queensland is the perfect place for lazy beach day

Queensland is the perfect place for lazy beach days. ☀️ 🕶 🌊 🏝 🏖 Today we spent all day in the water 🌊 💦
Wearing serious amounts of sunscreen 🧴 is second nature now. And wearing rashies. And hats 🧢. And sunglasses 🕶 and taking plenty of bottles of water 💧 out with us.
The sun here is so fierce but you get used to it and quickly get organised and create routines to cope.
I love getting up knowing it is going to be another hot day! It never gets boring. 🌞 Do you love the sun? Or are you worried about living in such a hot country?

There’s a free beachfront waterpark at #HerveyBay. For $6.50 you can get ten goes on the big slides. These guys managed about 7 goes before they were beat. The free waterpark is cool though and we explored the parks that were next to it too. Next time they decided they would just hang out in the free part instead (they hated waiting in line and also it was in the shade and they came out shivering even though it was a really hot day!) Overall it was a big hit though! Think we’ll need a holiday to recover from this holiday. ☀️ 🕶 🏝 🌊 💦 #familytravel #travelwithkids #waterpark #visitherveybay

Treats at @enzosonthebeach after plenty of fresh air and sunshine ☀️ I love the beanbags that overlook the beach. I think it’s my fav spot in #HerveyBay. #chillout #visitherveybay #familyroadtrip #familytravel #travelwithkids #queenslandroadtrip #exploringwithkids

We’ve been having fun hanging out at #HerveyBay.
Loving the relaxed, tropical vibe 🌴. It has been great having time to explore - we’ve only previously visited when heading to or from Fraser Island.
The kids have been in their element - there are plenty of parks and playgrounds to explore not to mention a free beachfront waterpark 💦 ☀️
It’s sad seeing the plume of smoke from the bushfires on #FraserIsland from the beach though. I hope they can get it under control soon. 🔥

Today we spent our day at #elliottheadsbeach near #bundaberg. The youngest hated all of the crabs 🦀 but the oldest thought it was the best place ever because of all the crabs and rock pools 🎣 he could explore. Everybody enjoyed skimboarding though. It was such a huge, empty beach! I’m still amazed that you can get free parking and explore places like this in Australia. The kids had a ball. Then on our drive to our next stop we spotted @macadamias_australia and stopped to buy lots of bags of nuts which my hubby and eldest will devour over the next couple of days as they are nut obsessed 🥜! These sorts of random discoveries are what I love the most about taking road trips. #queenslandroadtrip #summerholidays #summerholiday #childhoodunplugged #lovequeensland #familytravel #familyfun

Last night we were at the beach at #Bargara watching the sun go down. It was such a stunning spot. I’ve missed hitting the open road and exploring like this. 🏝 🌊 🌴 ☀️ The kids are finally at an age when they will tolerate road trips too (so long as drive time is kept to 2-3 hrs!) I can’t wait to start doing bigger trips with them now. #thisisqueensland

This was the reason we sneaked off school three days early (as this was the only available #turtleencounter tour time we could book before February!)
Last night we went to #MonRepos and were lucky enough to see a loggerhead turtle 🐢 on the beach laying 160 eggs! It was a long night but so worth it.
