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 …
Kinka Beach to Sarina With just over 330 kms to travel we set off reasonably early from Kinka Beach.

Tannum Sands to Kinka Beach Time to head north. Much as we had really enjoyed our time in Tannum Sands we were hoping to find warmer temperatures so off we headed. Firstly over the bridge and out onto the Bruce Highway. Off we drove. As we crossed the Calliope River we noticed the water level …

Carnarvon Gorge Mickey Creek Following on from a really sound sleep and a late breakfast we made the short drive back towards the entry to Carnarvon Gorge National Park, this time stopping at the carpark for the much shorter walk along Mickey Creek followed by another diversion up Warrumbah Creek Gorge.
