When Karen retired from teaching she didn't want a fuss made at a grand function. However her colleagues felt something needed to be done to mark the occasion after over 30 years. Two friends in particular who Karen had previously done the Oxfam 40 km walk with as a team thought a walk and lunch …
Having found that the walk to the Pinnacle (click here for previous post) from the Sundial carpark was reasonably quiet we decided to take the trail to Sundial Peak from the same carpark the next day. It didn't take long to see our first wildflowers of the day. We soon had our first view of …

Mackenzie Falls is only 7 kms to the lovely Reeds Lookout or just over 18 kms from Halls Gap township. We included it as a part of a scenic drive to Reeds Lookout. (See previous post.) After parking the car we followed the trail down to where the sealed descent began, passing some lovely wildflowers …

Hervey Bay to Goondiwindi Not my favourite things to be doing - arising early and heading south, all on the same day. However given we had a drive of just about 550 kms ahead of us it had to be done. With Goondiwindi our planned destination we were finished breakfast and packed up ready to …
Rainbow Beach to Hervey Bay Another moving day so we had eaten breakfast and packed up the caravan by 10:00 check out time. Mel had even taken a quick walk with us. Loved the bottlebrush flowers just coming into bloom in the caravan park gardens. Off we went. A perfect day, lots of blue sky …
