Keppel Sands was selected as a destination as it had a cool sounding name and the pub was within walking distance, as today was the AFL Grand Final and we had to ensure we could watch it on TV. We booked into the Keppel Sands Caravan Park (only one in town – maplink).
Well, we saw the grand final at the pub (great win Tigers), celebrated our 39th wedding anniversary and that was that. The town is very quiet with not much too do, especially when you have thunderstorms and rain. We were glad to move on after 2 nights.
