• 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

  We booked into the Seabreeze Tourist Park at Airlie Beach and again were told we could just wander round and pick our own site 🙂  As it was now school holidays, caravan parks were getting a little busier.  This caravan park appears to be undergoing some fairly extensive renovations and extensions – looking all for the […]

• CAIRNS TO AIRLIE BEACH

  We had pre-booked into a caravan park at Airlie Beach for 3 nights so we decided we needed an early start to get there before 5pm.  As I had a photographer friend in Townsville who I wanted to catch up with, we would need all the time we could get on the road. Before we […]

• CAIRNS

  On the way into Cairns, we took a detour to Kuranda and enjoyed a little time there wandering around, having an ice-cream and buying some ‘relaxed’ clothing for me.  Yes, I relented and purchased some ‘happy pants’ which are rather ‘way out’ for me.  But, oh they are comfortable. Situated only 25km NW of Cairns, Kuranda […]

• LIONS DEN HOTEL TO CAIRNS

  The time has come to start heading towards home.  My personal reflections so far? Nindigully Pub was an absolute highlight for both of us. I very much enjoyed the journey to my home town of Dirranbandi and meeting up with Anne Young of Begonia Station.  Seeing all the buildings that Dad used to work in […]

• LIONS DEN HOTEL

  Well, this iconic hotel deserves it’s own post.  I was so looking forward to coming here and I was not disappointed.  This whole area was so much fun.  Not just the hotel, but the camping grounds were great and we did a day trip up to Cooktown and Archer’s Point (more on that in the […]

• 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 […]
