Bundaberg to Caloundra Our next stopping point was going to be Golden Beach in Caloundra. The trip south started smoothly. Love the old buildings in Childers. Lots of roadworks after that until we passed the turn off to Hervey Bay. We stopped in Gympie for cheap fuel. After paying about $2.35 per litre of diesel …
Mt Larcom to Bundaberg Next morning we did a quick walk upon waking to see how the sunrise and Mt Larcom lined up. Here's the result. Obviously I was up a bit late but we only had 215 kms to drive to our next stopping point. Once breakfast we over we packed up and headed …
Townesville to Bowen The drive down to Bowen didn't take long. A lot of the countryside was sugar cane country. Between Ayr and Home Hill we crossed the Burdekin River. In Home Hill we stopped for a break. Here's a piece of creative street art we saw. Wangaratta at the Beach Caravan Park, Bowen By …
Tyto Wetlands The next day we headed into town to the Tyto Wetlands which the bad weather and good company the previous day had put on the back-burners of our plans. After parking at the carpark at the Tourist Information Centre we checked out the map of the wetlands first. So off we went. It …
Ayr to Ingham Left Ayr after an easy start to the day and headed up through Brandon before making our way to Townsville. We caught up with long time friends for lunch. They are staying with their daughter and son-in-law whilst having a house built in Brisbane. After sharing lunch and a dog walk we …
Sarina Street Art and Murals Given we saw so many beautiful murals in Sarina I have decided to devote this next post to them. Tropicana Tourist Park It was easy to feel you were in a tropical location at Tropicana Tourist Park with not only its well treed grounds but also its many murals on …
Finally I can continue writing about our trip to Queensland and in this post I write about one of our favourite days spent hiking in the fabulous Carnarvon Gorge. For much of our trip in Queensland, away from the big centres, we had poor and unreliable mobile/wifi coverage so I apologise for the delay since …
Cobar to Cunnamulla We had a reasonably long drive of 420 kms to our next destination, Cunnamulla, so once breakfast was finished we packed up and headed off north. The first town was Bourke, 159 kms away. Here is a snap of the sign as we came to Bourke shire. However it was still quite …
Arno's Wall Part art, part architecture, part genius, part weird, but largely one man's practical construction which uses lots of junk culled from the local tip to make a 2m high wall down the side of his property. Now I won't ramble on because a sign board at the front of his property describes his …
Even though we intended catching up with some friends in Brisbane we didn’t actually want to stay there so Bribie Island was a logical and quieter choice. We booked into Bongaree Caravan Park just opposite Sandstone Point on the mainland. The first night one couple of our friends actually drove up from Brisbane and we …
