rain and sand flies

I ought to have stayed with a good thing and stuck with my little bit of luxury in Noosa.
But it was raining so much I thought that going north would be different. But its not.
I went through Gosford where they were giving flood warnings and I could see why.
There were big brown lakes where the football oval used to be, wherever creeks had flowed and roads were cut throughout the area.
I made it to Bundaberg after stopping at Eumundi markets not far from Noosa. It was really big and I notices a lot of the businesses from Noosa were set up there. It was wet and so not at its best I'm sure.
I left Bundaberg and found the road badly pot holed after the rain and even water over the road at one floodway.
An hour and a half later of rain and dodging holes in the road I drove into Agnes Water and made my way the 5 or so k's to 1770.
Opptimistically I put up the tent, mainly because I had wanted to come here and I had looked forward to camping right next to the beach.
It rained all night, so I had to have the tent shut up and then it was hot. High tide had brought the sand flies out too and a good many had made their way into the tent.
So an uncomfortable night later I am wondering whether to stay, but in a motel this time.
I may not be able to get out though anyway because of the floods.
Hmm interesting.
