Day 61 – 63 : Hervey Bay – “Place is a real shit-hole if you ask me.”
The train journey north from Brisbane to Maryborough, where we’re to catch a connecting coach to the coastal town of Hervey Bay, is an exercise in restraint.
What I can only describe as an inbred family has taken up a series of seats beside, in front of and, at times, around us.
They’re made up of a mother and apparent step-father who spend the next few hours slapping their children and laughing maniacally in the process. It reminds me of the saying: “It’s amazing how, if you want to own a dog, you have to get a licence, but any complete shithead is allowed to have children.”
