Tyto Wetlands The next day we headed into town to the Tyto Wetlands which the bad weather and good company the previous day had put on the back-burners of our plans. After parking at the carpark at the Tourist Information Centre we checked out the map of the wetlands first. So off we went. It …
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 …
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 …
Charleville Charleville Bilby Experience Once we had eaten lunch we drove back to the Charleville Tourist Information Centre for our 1:30 booking.

An hour later we approached the border, crossed the Murray River and entered NSW. Half an hour later we came to Finley where we …
Kennedy Walking Track A couple of days after our hike along the Cutten Walking Track we decided to go down to Mission Beach South and walk a section of the Kennedy Walking Track which follows the coast for several kilometres. The walk begins as a boardwalk with views out to the nearby islands. Like the …
Obviously walking along the expansive beach is popular and something we could do easily on our days whilst based Mission Beach Hideaway Holiday Village but there were a couple of longer walks possible. The first of these I am posting about is the Cutten Walking Track. It takes you from just near the Mission Beach …
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.
