Carmilla Beach

Our caravan club friends, Mike and Debbie, had recommended that we stay at Carmilla Beach,about 100kms south of Mackay where there was a free camp right on the beach.
We ventured in with our vans, onto the sandy roads which had bogged Mike and Debbie's caravan earlier in the year and decided we'd be o.k.
It was a delightful spot, we parked parallel to the beach which had , to us,a most unusual tide,  Twice a day the water disappeared at least one and a half kilometres ( or it seemed that far) out to sea.

We stayed there two nights and on both nights suffered torrential rain storms which kept us awake with the noise of the rain on the roofs and the wind flapping our awnings, but there wasno damage when awoke each morning.
