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 …
Tannum Sands Much as we enjoyed our time in sunny Hervey Bay we were keen to travel further north, hoping to see an increase in the temperature. So off we went. Soon we came to the roundabout that connected us back onto the Bruce Highway. Pretty soon we were passing through the historic town of …

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. There were only a …
