BUNDABERG TO SAMFORD VALLEY, BRISBANE
Deep down, we were stretching out this part of the trip as much as possible. Neither of us were ready to go home, but we had to be in Brisbane first thing the next morning to pick up our new camper trailer 🙂 On the road, we passed some roadworks (naturally) and I just loved…

AIRLIE BEACH TO BUNDABERG
After our 3 nights at Airlie Beach, we packed up and headed off back down the coast getting closer and closer to Brisbane and Canungra. As we packed up though, the little family of ducks that had been ever present during our stay, crossed in front of us looking for grass to eat. We had…

AIRLIE BEACH

TINAROO TO LIONS DEN HOTEL
After a walk to the Lake again for Pepe to let off some steam, we packed up and headed to the Lions Den Hotel. I was excited by the prospect of the drive and what scenery I would see. Damian has seen all this as he worked and lived up in FNQ for some years,…

LONGREACH TO WINTON
We had visited the Stockman’s Hall of Fame this morning knowing that it was only a short journey to Winton. By the time we left Longreach, it mush have been almost lunchtime. The road to Winton was really not much different. Still desolate, parched earth waiting for the rains to flood the plains and deliver…
