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 …

Our next stop down the coast was at Maroochydore. We stayed at the caravan park at Cotton Tree right on the river. The first day there we caught up on our washing, did some shopping and then walked along the beach. In the evening we dined at the home of friends, Gary and Lois, in …
Started the day with a leisurely breakfast. Chatted with our friends and agreed to go for a coffee in 1770. Well, Karen drinks tea and I had a milkshake. Had a nice view of the inlet to the west of 1770. Once we had finished morning tea we took a walk along the path near …
One of my preferred sporting pastimes is playing golf. We had discovered Agnes Water Golf Course had been hosting a tournament over the weekend. So the following Monday I decided to go and play nine holes. Karen was happy to go for a walk as I played. After paying my green fees and hiring a …
Saturday Market day had arrived. It was sited a shortish walk from our caravan park. Lots of stalls to see - some food, some produce, some arts/crafts, some clothing and some plant stalls. We wandered around checking out the stalls. I must admit we were mostly looking for fresh fruit and veggies. However we spotted …
Woke to the noisy sound of birds. On closer inspection found a small flock of red tailed black cockatoos in the Eucalyptus trees above us. After breakfast we drove into Agnes Water and visited the Tourist Information Centre to find out about walks in the area. The first walk we decided to do was nearby. …
We hit the road reasonably early and headed south on the A1. This meant we bypassed Gladstone and where we had stayed at Boyne Island on the way north. At Miriam Vale we turned off and drove into Agnes Water where we stopped to grab a few supplies for lunch and dinner. Partway to the …
After a relaxing start and latish breakfast we drove into Rockhampton from Yeppoon. It's a city which lies slightly inland on the Fitzroy River and straddles the Tropic of Capricorn. Here are two photos of us showing that south of the Tropic it is a temperate zone and north of it you're obviously in a …
After another leisurely start to the day of breakfast followed by cut lunch preparation we drove north about 10:00 from Yeppoon to Byfield State Forest for the day. Initially we headed to the Upper Stoney day use area. As we left our parked car we couldn't help but notice the amazing reflection in the Stoney …
Our ability to travel has become severely limited to Covid 19. Going overseas isn't possible and even after a vaccine is freely administered we would think twice about heading anywhere out of the Asia-Pacific region given how poorly some countries have managed to control its spread. Even our state borders have been locked down several …
