Brisbane

Wednesday 29th October, (Brisbane).
The new phone turned out to be a saga. It basically turns out that the windows application I am running is not in fact 98 second edition as I thought, and it is not compatible with the software for the data cable. I guess I am lucky that the phone has infrared […]

Saturday 25th October, (Brisbane).
It is a pity we are in such a rush to get to Melbourne as places such as Rainbow Beach are ones that we could stay at for an extended period, but we did at least get to see it and we do know we will stay again when back this way. […]

Chapter 22.
I’m on my own for a while again.
Saturday 25th October 2003, (Brisbane).
I am not quite on my own yet; I have a couple of days of Linda’s company before she leaves on Wednesday. This time on my own will be a little different as I will not be staying in the one place, I […]

Rainbow Beach

Tuesday 21st October, (Rainbow Beach/Tin Can Bay).
Thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Woodgate and swore that we would return for an extended visit. Then we moved to Rainbow Beach/Tin Can Bay and now reckon that this is the place to be.
The whole area around here is sand, large hills all along the coast, all sand. There […]

Woodgate

Saturday 18th October, (Woodgate).
We are now at Woodgate, about 50k south of Bundaberg, and this is a coastal town that we will remember for a lengthy stay in the future.
For a small town there are all the facilities one would need for a several week visit, although fuel is expensive, and the caravan park is […]

Bundaberg

Wednesday 15th October, (Bundaberg).
We had a trip to the local Botanic Gardens today, this is something we usually do in each city, but I do not often mention them. I mention this one because it was a little different with one lake still looking rather natural, but it contained trees full of nesting birds.

Tuesday 14th October, (Gladstone, Bundaberg).
Perhaps the Bathurst race being run on the weekend is the reason I haven’t put pen to paper. We moved from Cania gorge to Gladstone on Friday purely for the fact that Bathurst was on and I had every intention of watching it. It was a good race to watch and […]

Cania Gorge

Wednesday 8th October, (Cania Gorge).
Another walking day today, about 8-10k and my legs are telling me they had enough.
One walk we went on up a small hill gave us some spectacular views of sandstone formations.

Monday 6th October, (Cania Gorge).
We are now at Cania Gorge, about 100k south of Biloela, and at first glance it seems to live up to all the hype we have heard about it. The caravan park gives one that country camping feel and has abundant wildlife. There are plenty of short bushwalks and we intend […]

Biloela

Sunday 5th October, (Biloela).
We are now wishing that we had not bypassed Rolleston and Moura and stayed at one of those towns and passed by Biloela. The whole township does nothing for either of us and we were very disappointed with our sightseeing today.
We went to have a look at Callide dam, mine and power […]
