Byron Bay
Byron Bay Beautiful as always. The colour of the sea is amazing here. Trekked up to the lightbouse via the eastern most point in Australia. We paid for a one hour park thinking it would be a quick trek up and back. We took 90 mins to cover 5kms with a vertical climb of 181m. […]
Mullumbimby
Mullumbimby Middle Pub Stayed at the showgrounds, it only reopened the day we arrived due to flooding. There has been a lot of rain along the coast. I spent an afternoon at the Crystal Castle lovely gardens and views but a bit pricey with a $49 entry fee. The crystals are good but nothing compared […]
Pottsville
Pottsville Jenga Lovely little town on the Tweed Coast. We spent the weekend at the Pottsville South caravan park with Kieran, Maureen, Tracy and Mark right on the Mooball Creek. The caravan park was extremely busy and packed. We had to play musical chairs moving cars every time a caravan needed to arrive or depart.The […]
Hervey Bay
Hervey Bay Last stop before heading back to Brisbane for Xmas. Will definitely be back to Hervey Bay. Beautiful but driving around is hectic. Extremely busy. We travelled 12,100kms to complete our Queensland loop. We have officially left the ‘all the gear and no idea’ group and now have a very good idea! That’s it […]
Bundaberg & Mon Repos
Bundaberg & Mon Repos Stayed in Bundaberg but didn’t visit the rum distillery this time as we have been there before. Went to Bargara for a swim the last time we were here was for the kid’s cross country competition years ago. Lovely little town. I visited Mon Repos and watched the film show. They […]
Agnes Water & Seventeen Seventy

Rockhampton
Rockhampton Our first downpour of rain since we left in August, and it poured for a few hours and then the sun came out. Visited the Rockhampton Botanic Gardens, the wetland are amazing so many birds and water lilies. Unfortunately, a lot of it was screened off as they were setting up for a light […]
Yeppoon & Great Keppel
Yeppoon & Great Keppel Did a day trip over to Great Keppel. It has been raining off and on since we arrived in Yeppoon so we were lucky that the rain held off for our day trip. This is the first decent rain we have had since we left in August. Everywhere we have been […]
Pinnacle & Eungella
Pinnacle & Eungella Stopped at the Pinnacle Hotel for the night. Simon was very happy as the camping area was right in front of the cane railway so there were multiple cane trains going past. A pub and train track he was in heaven. Went up to Eungella Chalets we stayed here in 2008 […]
