Roads Less Travelled

Again we negotiated the tricky track and all good. We stopped at Flaggy Rock where we have stayed once before and then on to  St Lawrence for lunch.  Eventually arrived at Rockhampton where we stopped at the free camping alongside the town gardens which are really lovely. On the second day we walked around the…

It was a really narrow and bumpy sealed road between the sugar cane fields to as we approached the property which we have to cross to get to Notch Point. Mind you the entire Bruce Highway in Northern Queensland is a horribly bumpy road. We reached the Yarrawonga Cattle property and it turned into a…

We booked into a camp site on the North side of the river. Turned out to be really central for what we wanted to do. After setting up we drove into town and walked around the buildings to find all the street art. After that we drove up to the lookout and then onward to…

First stop was for morning tea at a little cafe made to look like a diner inside. After driving through many miles of sugar cane we arrived at Neem Hall where we had booked a farm stay for two nights. That is a camp site on a farm. After setting up and having lunch we…

Took a nice drive to Cape Crawford for one night to see the Kangaroos on the beach. The last time we were here we just turned around because there was such a long queue of caravans and no hope of getting in. This time there was plenty of room. We set up camp and just…

We have a wonderful 9 days at Airlie Beach. We have booked into the NRMA park in Cannonvale which is 2k’s out of Airlie, or just over the hill. As always the area is a little windy but we did have two absolutely perfect days and on one of those day we were out at…

We headed out mid morning and made our way to Bowen where we have spent some time in the past. The weather is still fairly ordinary, not cold but overcast with light showers. We had a walk around town and out onto the jetty before heading off to Hydeaway Bay. Of course this is still…

Well we had a few options for the night and were hoping for a free or low cost stay. We drove to Burdekin area and on to AYR where we had a walk around town, had some lunch and a coffee  and decided to try the area out at the coast called Alva Beach. It…

Packed up and headed off to Townsville which we enjoyed last time. We booked into the same camp site at Rowes Bay as it is very convenient. Weather was a little ordinary but we managed to visit quite a few cafes and restaurants mostly for drinks. There are some awesome places on the strand. Had…

Everything is wet and muddy this morning in the little area behind the hotel. Bloke in the tent next to us had a job wiping down and packing away his camping gear. He left quite quickly while we had a leisurely breakfast in the comfort of our van. We are heading in the general direction…
