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 …
What To Do In Ayr Having been impressed with the vastness of the Burdekin River the previous day we were interested to see more. So we drove through the main part of town to get a map of the area at the Tourist Information Centre. As Karen wanted to look for a few things we …
Sarina to Ayr Our next destination was Ayr, a further 333kms north of Sarina. So, breakfast finished we were soon packed up and on the road north. However it didn't take long to come to the first section of roadworks on the Bruce Highway. Fortunately the lights were green so we were able to continue …

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 …

(More about that later. Here's what else to do first.) Hervey Bay Markets When …
Miles to Hervey Bay Knowing we would be driving nearly 400 kms again we were up reasonably early for breakfast. Once we had packed up the caravan we made our way to the caravan park exit and turned right onto the road. However we were barely 100 metres down the road when a heavy vehicle …
Carnarvon Gorge - Miles In the hope of one last chance to see the elusive platypus based in the creek at the caravan park we rose before 7:00 and headed down to the creek. Standing very still we waited. Nothing. After about ten minutes a guy came along slowly and quietly told us he'd seen …
