The next morning we drove back into town, parked and walked up to the nearby Tourist Information Centre, which was housed in a small building next to a grand old bank. Things to do In Charters Towers A very helpful lady soon had us looking at a variety of options of how to spend the …
Winton to Hughenden Our next planned stop was Hughenden. Once again we found we could not make a booking at the one and only caravan park but having now stopped at Showgrounds in both Barcaldine and Winton we felt this could be possible again. So off we headed, north east along State route 62. Not …
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 …

After a week in Perth we hooked up the caravan and started the drive east, which would eventually bring us back home. First day we drove just under 400 kms to the little wheatbelt town of Southern Cross, passing through a succession of small towns including Northam, Meckering, Tammin and Merredin. We stayed at the …
Sadly Perth's winter weather had taken a turn for the worse but a few days after our excursion to Fremantle we took the train into Perth and took a bus up to Kings Park. We had been here in spring one year previously so we thought it would be interesting to visit in late winter. …
As our next planned stopping point was Jurien Bay we made our way cross country from Western Flora Caravan Park at Arrowsmith towards the coast. Initially we were on Highway 1 before turning onto the Coolimba-Eneabba Rd that took us across towards the coast where we joined onto Indian Ocean Drive (State Route 60). Along …
After a quick overnight stop in Geraldton we continued driving south. The Western Flora Caravan Park just off the Brand Highway in Arrowsmith was our next destination. Our Tom Tom sat-nav indicated we had arrived but we were in the middle of nowhere so we kept driving and eventually saw a signboard for it. We …
