Twenty kilometers away in Tamborine, Chook had just about reached the end of his tether, driving around the countryside looking for Shirley. Where the hell was she?

Not in a caravan park at Tamborine, that’s for sure. He’d had to drive out to a spot called Cedar Creek, where he’d found a caravan park and a place that seemed to be a cross between a resort and an outdoor adventure place.

At first, he’d been hopeful when he saw a Jayco motorhome that looked just like hers, but when he’d moved up close enough to have a good look, it turned out to be inhabited by a cranky little dog with an equally cranky old man owner. The dog had barked at him and its owner had looked at him like he was some mangy cur.

Well, all right, he hadn’t had time to have a shower, so he might be a bit on the nose, but there’d been no need to glare at him like that.

A couple of backpackers had been a bit friendlier, but they didn’t know the area, so they were of no use.

Finally, somebody directed him to the Visitor Center, where he discovered that a lot of visitors to Tamborine Mountain and Lamington National Park liked to stay at a place called Canungra, somewhere down south.

Gritting his teeth, Chook called up the app on his phone and tapped in Canungra. Sure enough, there were more camping areas down there —three, as far as he could tell. One was a farm stay, one was Canungra Showground, and one was a campground by a river, with more basic facilities.

For his money, she’d be at the farm stay or the Showground, where she had access to power.

He slumped in his car and closed his eyes, assailed by a moment of doubt. He’d been betting everything on something said by a six-year-old kid. What if he was way off target? What if Shirley was nowhere near this Tamborine Mountain?

All this way for nothing.

Well, he’d burnt his bridges now. Chook sat up and punched the steering wheel. He’d keep going until he found her, even if she was on the other side of Australia.

But first, Canungra.

If she was here, he’d find her.
