Kinka Beach to Sarina With just over 330 kms to travel we set off reasonably early from Kinka Beach. Coming back out onto the Bruce Highway just north of Rockhampton we made our way through the countryside passing a series of small towns dotted along the map, Yaamba, Canoona and Kunwarara before reaching Marlborough about …
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 …
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 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. …
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 …
Finally I can continue writing about our trip to Queensland and in this post I write about one of our favourite days spent hiking in the fabulous Carnarvon Gorge. For much of our trip in Queensland, away from the big centres, we had poor and unreliable mobile/wifi coverage so I apologise for the delay since …
Roma We had a fairly slow start the next day. Mid morning we drove down the street and bought a couple of things in their camping store, grabbed a few items in the supermarket before buying some lunch at their busy, well stocked bakery. After lunch we drove to the house of a girl who …
