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 …
Bundaberg Botanic Garden For regular readers you know we love to see Australian native plants so visiting Bundaberg's Botanic Gardens was a must. So off we went on our last day in Bundaberg. After finding a car park we checked out a map of the gardens at the entrance. By the way it's free to …

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 …

Charleville Charleville Native Tree Walk After looking at the map of Charleville the helpful young man had given Karen the previous day we decided to kill two birds with one stone. (Not the two sculptured birds in the first photo!) We would take Mel for a walk and we could check out the local flora, …
