Carnarvon Gorge We had saved the Boolimba Bluff walk until the last day as we felt we would be well conditioned to walking by this point and it was suggested you make a very early start to see the sun shine its early rays on the rock face on the opposite side of the gorge. …
Roma Our next stopping point was Roma which was about 270 kms to the east. It took us about three and a half hours driving. It’s the main route towards Brisbane. So as well as passing through some nice little towns such as Morven, Mitchell (on the Maranoa River), Amby and Muckadilla we saw an …
Cobar to Cunnamulla We had a reasonably long drive of 420 kms to our next destination, Cunnamulla, so once breakfast was finished we packed up and headed off north. The first town was Bourke, 159 kms away. Here is a snap of the sign as we came to Bourke shire. However it was still quite …
From Charters Towers we made our way out to Townsville and headed north to our next destination, Mission Beach. The road in has several roadsigns unique to this area warning drivers to be wary of cassowaries. Formerly a very quiet village, Mission Beach is now a spread out centre over about 15 kilometres of beautiful …
On our first couple of trips into town we couldn't help but notice how many well preserved buildings there were. The previous day we had collected quite a few brochures from the Tourist Information Centre. One of them detailed a heritage trail so that's what I am going to post about this time. One Square …
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 …
The rest of our drive to Charters Towers was pretty smooth driving and finding our caravan park, Big 4 Aussie Outback Oasis Caravan Park, on the edge of town was equally easy. We were soon set up and eating lunch next to our caravan. Lunch finished, we took a bit of a rest. However after …
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 …
For our fourth day based in Yeppoon we decided to stay closer to 'home'. In the morning we took a ten minute drive up to nearby Lammermoor so we could do some walking in their Native gardens. On their information board they showed seven possible walking zones on multiple trails. We parked at the Lioness …
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 …
